Cant pipe output of find to ls, why?

---

Why can't I pipe the output of find command to to ls?

@Shyam-Gupta,

According to the man page of ls(1).

The ls command takes its arguments on the command line not on standard input (i. e. file descriptor 0).

You can use the xargs command to pipe the output of find to ls. with xargs you can execute a command with input from standard input.

Ex: find /home -name Downloads | xargs ls -l
