Was exactly my thought: why not to use null termination? Looks like a case where reading man page would have spared writing another copycat utility. | ||

And null termination is guaranteed to work, because the only two characters forbidden in Unix filenames (for most varieties of Unix, I won't guarantee there aren't some weird variants out there) are / and null. The only times I've needed something more than `find -print0 | xargs -0` has been when I need to apply logic to decide whether to process one of the files, in a way that's not easy to express in a `find` command. Then I write a small script with a for loop and if statements inside it. But more people should know about `-print0`. It's the answer to 95% of the problems with `find | xargs`. | ||
