I have updated the find and xargs manual pages to discuss the issues arund -print, -print0 and -0 in more detail. This change will be included in the next release.

I disagree with this man page change. The null termination has nothing to do with quotes or whitespace and I think mentioning it in the manpage is misleading if not completely wrong. Please do not commit this patch.

Version: 4.1.20

Attached you find a patch for find(1) that makes it clear that -print0 is not only needed for for filenames with newlines in it but for all kinds of special characters (whitespace, quotes, etc.)
