    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The manual page of xargs(1) lists "{}" in:

       -i[replace-str]

              This option is a synonym for -Ireplace-str if
              replace-str is specified, and for -I{} otherwise.
              This option is dep‐ recated; use -I instead.


But the meaning of "{}" is not explained anywhere.
