Thanks for your answers, but I still have a question about this.
So, if I understand correctly, -print0 is considered as just another
test (just like -iname) that is evaluated for each file according to
operator precedence. In this case, since -print0 always returns true,
shouldn't the following commands be equivalent:
Think about the order of evaluation.
find . -type f -and -print0 -and \( -iname '*.html' -or -iname
'*.js' \) | xargs -0
and
find . -type f -and \( -iname '*.html' -or -iname '*.js' \) -and
-print0 | xargs -0
The first one outputs:
./a.js ./a.css ./a.html
The second one outputs:
./a.js ./a.html
GNU find has an implied print at the end, iff there has been no other
print 'test." Not all versions of find does this.
In this context, by "print" I include any test that prints.
