In the caveats section it states the following:
Passing the output of find to other programs requires some care:
$ find . -name \*.jpg | xargs rm
or
$ rm `find . -name \*.jpg`
would, given files ``important .jpg'' and ``important'', remove
``important''. Use the -print0 or -exec primaries instead.
Is this an error? The language indicates that ``important'' will be
removed (and possibly ``important.jpg''; it's not clear) when executing
both above commands. Is this correct?
If it is correct, then I don't get what the caveat is. For example:
$ touch important important.jpg
$ find . -name \*.jpg | xargs rm
$ ls
important
What does -print0 or -exec have to do with it?
