I'm working on improving the GNU findutils manual and would be interested in having someone verify something for accuracy. I have a question concering the following paragraph in the manual:
"So, if you are using the new database format (this is the default) and your system uses GNU find, newlines will be correctly handled at all times. Otherwise, newlines may not be correctly handled." >From the section "Newline Handling"(Finding files): <http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_node/find_html/Newline-Handling.html> Was the mentioning "GNU find" intended to be "GNU locate"? If you are using the new database format you must already be using GNU updatedb, which one would imagine already requires GNU find. So the sentence strikes me as either incorrect or at least pedantic. Based on other information in the manual, GNU find actually doesn't seem to be required for creating databases in the new format, only a find that can spit null-characters as endlines is.
