Details:
Could youplease add following functionality to GNU find as it works on HP-UX
11.x:
-exec cmd
True if the executed cmd returns a zero value
as exit status. The end of cmd must be
punctuated by a semicolon (;) or a plus sign
(+) (semicolon and plus are special to the
shell and must be escaped). When + is used,
cmd aggregates a set of path names and
executes on the set. Any command arguments
between the first occurrence of {} and + are
ignored. The reason for preferring + to a ;
is vastly improved performance. Any command
argument {} is replaced by the current path
name. cmd may contain supplementary code set
characters.
This greatly improves -exec performance and makes find | xargs useless. It
also removes all problems comes with pipeing to xargs. (filenames with
spaces, unexpected end of file etc...)
Thanks very much.
