LPIC-1 Exam 101 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 14

When redirecting the output of find to the xargs command, what option to find is useful if the filenames contain spaces?

Answer options

• A. -rep-space
• B. -printnul
• C. -nospace
• D. -ignore-space
• E. -print0

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is -print0, as it outputs the filenames followed by a null character, which prevents issues with spaces in filenames when processed by xargs. The other options do not exist or serve a different purpose and would not effectively handle filenames containing spaces.
