find $1 -print0 | xargs -0 touch
Isso encerra cada nome de arquivo com \ 000 (caractere 0) e instrui os xargs a esperar que os nomes dos arquivos sejam finalizados por \ 000
-print0
True; print the full file name on the standard output, followed
by a null character (instead of the newline character that
-print uses). This allows file names that contain newlines or
other types of white space to be correctly interpreted by pro‐
grams that process the find output. This option corresponds to
the -0 option of xargs.
