这:

#!/bin/bash

# Run command ~100Kbytes long
/bin/echo $(perl -e 'print "x"x100000') | wc
# Run command ~54Kbytes long
# This line fails: line 7: /bin/echo: Argument list too long
/bin/echo $(perl -e 'print "x "x27000') | wc

# Same command, but run using xargs
# Run command ~100Kbytes long
perl -e 'print "x"x100000' | xargs -n 100000 /bin/echo | wc
# Run command ~54Kbytes long
# This line fails: xargs: /bin/echo: Argument list too long
perl -e 'print "x "x27000' | xargs -n 100000 /bin/echo | wc

在 GNU/Linux 上工作正常,但 2 54Kbytes 行在 MacOS X 上失败。

ARG_MAX远高于 100KBytes,请注意 100Kbytes 行确实不是失败 - 54KBytes 线路失败。

mac$ getconf ARG_MAX
262144
mac$ uname -a
Darwin macosx 11.4.2 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2: Thu Aug 23 16:26:45 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.32.7~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
# Kusalananda suggests it may be due to the size of the environment
mac$ env | wc
      27      32     956

为什么 54Kbytes 命令失败?

有没有一种方法可以在不运行它的情况下预测参数列表对于 MacOS X 来说是否太长?

这:

#!/bin/bash

runtest() {
    echo environment size:
    env | wc
    echo Run command ~100Kbytes long
    /bin/echo $(perl -e 'print "x"x100000') | wc
    echo Run command ~54Kbytes long
    # This line fails: line 7: /bin/echo: Argument list too long
    /bin/echo $(perl -e 'print "x "x27000') | wc
    
    # Same command, but run using xargs
    echo Run command ~100Kbytes long
    perl -e 'print "x"x100000' | xargs -n 100000 /bin/echo | wc
    echo Run command ~54Kbytes long
    # This line fails: xargs: /bin/echo: Argument list too long
    perl -e 'print "x "x27000' | xargs -n 100000 /bin/echo | wc
    echo
}

# Clean environment
runtest

# Make a huge environment
for a in `seq 5000`; do eval "a$a=1" ; done
for a in `seq 5000`; do eval "a$a() { 1; }" ; done
# This works as before
runtest

# Export environment
for a in `seq 5000`; do eval export a$a ; done
for a in `seq 5000`; do eval export -f a$a ; done
# Now the 100Kbytes commands fail, too
runtest

给出这个输出:

所以,库萨罗南达是对的出口环境可以产生影响。目前还不清楚计算这个的公式是什么:也许纯粹是大小?也许变量的数量也很重要?也许只是名字的长度?也许是这些的线性组合?

仍然没有解释在给定环境中 100Kbytes 命令可以正常工作,但 54Kbytes 命令则不能。

就好像 MacOS 不仅对总大小有限制,而且对参数数量也有限制。

如果 MacOS 每个参数使用额外的 8 个字节,这些数字也有意义:

# One big argument
100K * "x" = 100000+2 < 262144 # Works
# 27K small arguments
27K * "x " = 27K*(8+2) > 262144 # Fails
# 26K small arguments
26K * "x " = 26K*(8+2) < 262144 # Works

但 MacOS 能做到这一点吗?

答案1

进一步研究表明(MacOS 版本未知):

Effective length = 
  length of arguments +
  5 * number of arguments +
  length of body/value of exported functions/variables +
  length of names of exported functions/variables +
  4 * number of exported functions/variables

如果有效长度 < 256 KB,则命令将运行。目前尚不清楚这是否适用于所有版本的 MacOS。

对于 MacOS El Capitan 10.11.4,这给出了悲观命令行长度(假设您要运行的命令是/bin/echo x x x x ...):

perl -e '                                                                             
  $envc=(keys %ENV);                                                                    
  $envn=length join"",(keys %ENV);                                                      
  $envv=length join"",(values %ENV);                                                    
  $maxlen=3+(262144 - $envn - $envv) / 5 - $envc*2;                                     
  print("Max len = $maxlen\n");
'                                                        

目前尚不清楚这是否适用于所有版本的 MacOS。
