@FIXME{say anything else here to conclude the section?}
The @option{--no-null} option can be used if you need to read both
zero-terminated and newline-terminated files on the same command line.
For example, if @file{flist} is a newline-terminated file, then the
following command can be used to combine it with the above command:
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{find . -size +800 -print0 |
tar -c -f big.tar --null -T - --no-null -T flist}
@end group
@end smallexample
This example uses short options for typographic reasons, to avoid
very long lines.
@GNUTAR is able to automatically detect null-terminated file lists, so
it is safe to use them even without the @option{--null} option. In
this case @command{tar} will print a warning and continue reading such
a file as if @option{--null} were actually given:
@smallexample
@group
$ @kbd{find . -size +800 -print0 | tar -c -f big.tar -T -}
tar: -: file name read contains nul character
@end group
@end smallexample
The null terminator, however, remains in effect only for this
particular file, any following @option{-T} options will assume
newline termination. Of course, the null autodetection applies
to these eventual surplus @option{-T} options as well.
