You have a complicated xargs! Look, mine from FreeBSD, only offers:

DIAGNOSTICS
     The xargs utility exits with a value of 0 if no error occurs.   
If utility
     cannot be found, xargs exits with a value of 127, otherwise if  
utility
     cannot be executed, xargs exits with a value of 126.  If any  
other error
     occurs, xargs exits with a value of 1.
