TODO list says :
du: add option to use \0 as line terminator rather than \n so that
tools like xdiskusage that parse du output don't choke on file names
with embedded newlines.
I added that option (-0 --print0)
ChangeLog :
* src/du.c
Added option -0 --print0 which replaces the '\n' line terminator
with '\0' so that parsing du output with special charaters is
more easy.
Here is the patch :
