There's no way for xargs to know about anything other than the kernel-imposed argument list size limit.
Where can I read the argument list size limit? I fail to see anything relevant with ulimit -a or in proc or in pam's limits.conf.
check the man pages for the shells usually they list the length of the command line buffer. In 4.3 BSD, I believe the buffer was 10 kiB. -- which I thought was deliriously excessive back before I understood shell scripting and filename globbing. I have no clue what it is now, and also, these are GNU man pages, not AT&T-derived BSD man pages.
