Note as yet unreleased version of ls will use shell quoting to give a less ambiguous output: $ ls '* ' > But > > find . -type d -print > > display ./* /etc. > > If we have hidden directory and use xargs with find to execute some command, > it's security risk. Should we patch it's behavior ? I think you're worried about the '*' being expanded? Or maybe the xargs splitting on the space. In any case you can use `find ... -print0 | xargs -0` to handle that. Not something that mkdir (coreutils) should be worried about in any case. cheers, Pádraig.
