It's meant to be used like: $ find . -type f -print0 | du --files0-from=- Note also that xargs takes -0 for the same reason: $ find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 command Using tr is not the intended use pattern, as it completely misses the point. \0 is the only character that cannot be part of a filename (other than '/'), so the only reliable way to deal with arbitrary filenames without complicated quoting is to \0-delimit them. Using tr to convert newlines to \0 fails if you have filenames with newlines in them, not to mention that it's pointless overhead.
