# xargs
> Execute a command with piped arguments.
- Main use:
`{{arguments}} | xargs {{command}}`
- Handle whitespace in arguments:
`{{arguments_null_terminated}} | xargs -0 {{command}}`
- Example: list unneeded packages with deborphan and remove them with apt-get:
`sudo deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get remove`
