A job can be a single command or a small script +that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical +input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of +URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads +from a pipe. GNU parallel can then split the input and pipe it into +commands in parallel. |
