Safe File Name Handling

Here is how to make find output file names so that they can be used by other programs without being mangled or misinterpreted. You can process file names generated this way by giving the `-0' or `--null' option to GNU xargs, GNU tar, GNU cpio, or perl.

Action: -print0

True; print the full file name on the standard output, followed by a null character.

Action: -fprint0 file

True; like `-print0' but write to file like `-fprint' (see section Print File Name).
