I was reading the documentation of find here and came across the following two lines:


find originals -name '*.jpg' | xargs -1 makeallsizes



find originals -name '*.jpg' | xargs -1 -P 2 makeallsizes


I think this -1 (hyphen one) should be -l (hyphen lowercase L). I can't find any explanation of an argument that's -1 (hyphen one); that's why I'm guessing it should be -l (hyphen lowercase L).

Assuming that I'm correct, why do we need the -l here?
