It is assured because the GNU Find's documentation says this '+' causes the command line to be created by appending the file names, like xargs does. However, problems should be expected when the number of files becomes very large, subject to limitations of the target platform. > Anyway, this issue has been very recently fixed in bug#29513 > (of which this is a duplicate) via find-dired-refine-function. > So I suggest not documenting the above. We could document both ways. Btw, the commit which fixed bug#29513 didn't call out the change in NEWS, let alone in the manual, so we should definitely improve the docs regarding this issue anyway. Thanks.
