Update of bug #35141 (project findutils):
Status: None => Invalid
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
Such an option already exists; it is named -print0.
Remember, if you don't specify any of the -ok, -exec, or -print family of
outputs, then find defaults to -print (not -print0). -prune does not print,
rather, the lack of any other action implies the default of -print. Your
example was thus parsed as:
find . ( -name 'bin*' -type d -prune ) -print | xargs -r rm -r --
when it sounds like you wanted something like:
find . -name 'bin*' -type d -prune -o -print0 | xargs -r rm -r --
or even more efficiently:
find -name 'bin*' -type d -prune -o -delete
I'm closing this as not a bug; there is no need to add -prune0 as a
NUL-printing counterpart of -prune, since -prune doesn't print in the first
place.
