Bug 53857

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (Win98; U)

Description of problem:
Find manual lists escape sequences for -printf _not_ including "\0" or any 
reference to an escape in the form \<number>, and states:
"A `\' character followed by any other character is treated  as  an  
ordinary character, so they both are printed."

In reality a "\0" fed to find at a command line does not (as it should) 
produce the text "\0" in the printed output. Instead it produces an ASCII 
null character.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.find . -type f -printf "\"%p\"\0"
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Find outputs a list of filenames each terminated with an 
ASCII null character. This is easily verified by:
find . -type f -printf "\"%p\"\0" | tr "\0" "N"

Expected Results:  Find should (according to the docs) output a list of 
filenames each terminated with a literal "\0" string.

Additional info:

This is more of an undocumented feature really than a bug. Actually it 
will come in handy if it's consistant accross versions/platforms.
