title: bash - Argument list too long
body: <p>I have ~5k files that I wish to unzip.</p>
  
  <pre><code>2:13:35 2017-01-16 $ unpigz *.gz
  -bash: /usr/local/bin/unpigz: Argument list too long
  12:13:40 2017-01-16 $ unpigz -r *.gz
  -bash: /usr/local/bin/unpigz: Argument list too long
  12:15:45 2017-01-16 $ gunzip *.gz
  -bash: /usr/bin/gunzip: Argument list too long
  12:17:56 2017-01-16 $ cp *.gz ~/Desktop/
  -bash: /bin/cp: Argument list too long
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a count limit to the amount of files bash can handle?</p>
