correct ;-)
Although if I know the filename, I would not need to call the find command, and
just pass the filename to HEAD, TAIL, or AWK.

This means that I can use
find $filename -type f -print0
with no harm?

True, but as directories are also files, the -name condition could
also filter for specific directory names.
Have a nice day,

well, in UNIX philosophy everything is a file. ;-)
What you're referring to is "regular files" (-type f for find),
while there are also others (block, character, symlink files, ...),
and directories (-type d).
Customarily people use the -name option for specific file names.

I am using the FIND command on a number of directories stored in FDIR array to
execute HEAD on each file. How can I adapt the code so users can also include
files as well as directories?
hn=8
nf=${#fdir[@]}
for (( i=0 ; i < $nf ; i++ )); do
find "${fdir[$i]}" -type f \
-exec head -v -n "$hn" '{}
