| Mar 31, 2023 at 13:56 | comment | added | cas | or when you couldn't be bothered writing a shell script wrapper to iterate over multiple arguments. | |
| Mar 31, 2023 at 13:55 | comment | added | Peregrino69 | So the only situation when it is useful is if find is too old to support +? | |
| Mar 31, 2023 at 13:53 | comment | added | cas | nope. 1 filename still fits into one command line. You can also use + if you want to run, say, a shell script - e.g. find ... -exec sh -c 'for f; do something with "$f"; done' sh {} + | |
| Mar 31, 2023 at 13:53 | comment | added | Peregrino69 | LOL yeah I saw that, hence the question... do you mean + isn't useful when there is only one filename as argument? :-D | |
