Description

Runs shell jobs in parallel from the command line. Developers, administrators, and data workers use it to apply commands to many files, hosts, inputs, or tasks faster than sequential loops.

Use it when a script or terminal workflow has independent jobs that can run at the same time. Parallel execution can amplify mistakes, resource use, or destructive commands, so test with small inputs first.
