Hello Findutils maintainers,

Here is the sentence the OP is referring to:

"The xargs command will process all its input, building
command lines and executing them, unless one of the
commands exits with a status of 255 (this will cause xargs
to issue an error message and stop) or it reads a line
contains the end of file string specified with the ‘--eof’
option."

Even with the typo corrected, I find this sentence a
little difficult to read. It may help to emphasize its
structure, for example by adding numbers:

... unless (1) one of the
commands exits with a status of 255 (this will cause xargs
to issue an error message and stop) or (2) it reads a line
containing the end of file string specified with the ‘--eof’
option."

Best regards,
Thérèse
