Here, `{}` is a placeholder for the search result. `{.}` is the same, without the file extension.
See below for more details on the placeholder syntax.
The terminal output of commands run from parallel threads using `-x` will not be interlaced or garbled,
so `fd -x` can be used to rudimentarily parallelize a task run over many files.
An example of this is calculating the checksum of each individual file within a directory.
```
fd -x md5sum
```
#### Placeholder syntax
The `-x` and `-X` options take a *command template* as a series of arguments (instead of a single string).
