I'd like to use a bash script in a pipe to process null-delimited output:
<produce null-delimited output> | myscript > results
Since the "read" command seems to currently be unable to use ascii null as a
delimiter, I'm using xargs to parse the file and feed to a subshell:
*** contents of myscript***
cat <&0 | xargs -0 -n2 bash -c '
if test "$(eval dirname \"$0\")" = "${1/%\/}"; then
printf "remove %s which points to %s\n" "$0" "$1"
fi
'
Anyone care to suggest alternative approaches?
