https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=248

Page and line numbers are for Issue 8 draft 3.

Page 2973, Line 99511 (hash APPLICATION USAGE):
Change:
    find . −type f | xargs hash
To:
    find . -type f -exec hash {} +

Page 3441, line 117538 (type APPLICATION USAGE):
Replace:
    find . −type f | xargs type
with:
    find . −type f -exec type {} +

On page 3568 line 122228 (xargs EXAMPLES) change example 2 from:
    The following command invokes diff with successive pairs of
    arguments originally typed as command line arguments. It assumes
    there are no embedded <newline> characters in the elements of
    the original argument list.

    printf "%s\n" "$@" | sed 's/[^[:alnum:]]/\\&/g' |
    xargs -E "" -n 2 -x diff

to:
    The following command invokes diff with successive pairs of
    arguments originally typed as command line arguments.

    printf "%s\0" "$@" | xargs -0 -n 2 -x diff --

On page 3568 line 122233 change example 3 from:
    In the following commands, the user is asked which files in the
    current directory (excluding dotfiles) are to be archived. The
    files are archived into arch; a, one at a time or b, many at a
    time. The commands assume that no filenames contain <blank>,
    <newline>, <backslash>, <apostrophe>, or double-quote characters.

    a. ls | xargs -E "" -p -L 1 ar -r arch
    b. ls | xargs -E "" -p -L 1 | xargs -E "" ar -r arch
to:
    In the following command, the user is asked which regular files
    below the current directory are to be archived.

    find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -p -L 1 ar -r arch

On page 3568, lines 122242-122247 remove example 5 


AI to EricB: Create new bug linked to bugid:1063 that changes hash
line 99517 to drop "" on PATH=$PATH example, and fixes text in
STDOUT line 99491 to state the list is cleared on assignment (not
merely on change). Possibly also move the details of the list of
remembered names up to DESCRIPTION instead of STDOUT. Also, sh
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES line 113657 should probably mention hash table
effects; and add an xref to hash in 2.9.1.4 line 80882.
