About unsafe filenames. If you talk about this: find . -type f | xargs -IX -n1 sh -c "cp -f X $IMGDIR_DST/X || exit 255" I understand how unsafe filenames can cause a wrond behaviour. But here(if -F/-S would be implemented): find . -type f | xargs -F -IX -n1 cp -f X $IMGDIR_DST/X I can't find any problem with unsafe filenames. Am i wrong? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61009> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
