Hi, findutils mainteners
we want let you known, when passing to -a, /dev/full, it just hangs and tries allocate massive memory, until killed, we confirmed using free -mh
relunsec@relunsec:~/software/findutils/target/debug$ sudo ./xargs -a /dev/full ls
^C
until killed by the linux kernel OOM or pressing CTRL+C, while the gnu correctly error out and abort not tries to allocate indefnitevly memory, unlike the uu find
relunsec@relunsec:~/software/findutils/target/debug$ sudo /bin/xargs -a /dev/full ls
/bin/xargs: WARNING: a NUL character occurred in the input. It cannot be passed through in the argument list. Did you mean to use the --null option?
