Run curl commands in parallel using xargs with inputs from csv

I have a csv file with several columns including a sequence number and an image URL. The file is 450+ lines.



1,text1,text2,http://image_a.jpg
2,text1,text2,http://image_b.jpg
3,text1,text2,http://image_c.jpg
.
.
.


The goal is to download the image at the URL with a filename being the sequence. I accomplished this successfully with the following script



while IFS=, read col1 col2 col3 col4
do
 curl $col4 > $col1.jpg
done < myfile.csv


Now I want to run the curl commands in parallel using xargs -P. (I don't want to just background using & as I want to limit the number of processes.) I see examples using -I and -R but cannot figure out how to use multiple fields from a line of the csv file in the xargs command.



I realize gnu parallel and wget may be better options but they are not available in my unix environment.



Thanks.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this
