xargs -i explanation not clear enough without examples

In the xargs man page, this is not clear enough without examples:
      --replace[=replace-str], -i[replace-str]
              Replace occurences of replace-str in the initial arguments  with
              names  read  from  standard input.  Also, unquoted blanks do not
              terminate arguments.  If replace-str is omitted, it defaults  to
              "{}" (like for `find -exec').  Implies -x and -l 1.
I cannot find a Info page for more details.
