But the aforementioned “git find” as well as various greps etc. do not offer this anyway, and it’d be good to have it for symmetry. Using find(1) is just concocting an easy-to-remember example… *especially* as you can go from there to …-print0 | while IFS= read -rd '' file; do… immediately. stephane wrote: > xargs -r0a <(cmd1) cmd2 -- Yuk, that’s even GNU bash-specific. > Note that with cmd1 | xargs -r0o cmd2 --, cmd2's stdin is /dev/tty even > when that command is in a script and that script has its input redirected. Yes, that’s a good thing. > quite awkwardly: Same thing as above: nobody’s going to remember these. IIRC the people in GNU coreutils mentioned the same but decided to implement BSD’s -o nevertheless because of its utility in making things better for users and consistent across OSes.
