		ykonstant on June 21, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Linux Namespaces Are a Poor Man's Plan 9 Namespace... Does this deal with arbitrary filenames (having newlines, control chars etc) correctly? Or does Plan9 forbid such filenames?

I've never used plan9. In Linux you do "find -print0 | xargs -0" to deal with that.

Im not sure how one can do \0 separator with du, plan9's du(1) doesn't list such option.
