There are similar analogs for bufdo, windo, and tabdo (they
should all be in the same section of the help), so you can
perform a sequence of Ex commands on whichever set of
arguments/buffers/windows/tabs you want.

"dd" is a normal-mode command. 1d is an Ex command for "delete
line #1". The [arg|win|tab|buf]do commands take Ex commands,
rather than normal-mode commands. The normal-mode way would be
to do something like

argdo ... exec "dd"
