Providing pathnames with special characters

[businessBoris]

If the filenames provided to duperemove have spaces or other should-be-escaped characters, what happens?

I notice that there isn't a "-0" option such as with xargs and I didn't read anything in the help that have me a clue.

I'm not sure I haven't been stupid in asking this question. It may be really obvious!

Thank-you.

Reasoning: I want to submit a subset of all files to duperemove using "find -print0" / list of files output (so that I can exclude some files).

This should just work. Here is my test:

cp mnt-test/file2 mnt-test/file\ with\ space
cp mnt-test/file2 mnt-test/file\\with\\spec\'char

ls -la mnt-test/
total 1044
