Public bug reported:
parallel --null does the right thing normally, but when used with --cat
or --pipe, seems to have no effect. Some examples below.
Without --cat or --pipe:
$ echo -e 'a\0b\0c' | parallel --will-cite --null echo | xxd
00000000: 610a 620a 630a 0a a.b.c..
We see the null bytes transformed to newlines, indicating three invocations of
'echo' with 'a", "b", and "c\n", respectively.
With --cat or --pipe:
$ echo -e 'a\0b\0c' | parallel --will-cite --null --cat xxd
00000000: 6100 6200 630a a.b.c.
$ echo -e 'a\0b\0c' | parallel --will-cite --null --pipe xxd -
00000000: 6100 6200 630a a.b.c.
We see the output is the same as the input, indicating the input was passed
unchanged to xxd.
