Description:   Opened: 2008-04-08 08:51 0000 
this patch adds the -0 flag to slocate that will force slocate's output to be
null terminated rather than newline terminated in a manner similar to find
-print0, and compatible with xargs -0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
slocate doesn't have this option by default.

patch that actually works

printf("%s\0", foo); doesn't do what you want it to do.  Also made the --help
output fit into an 80 character terminal

Your latest patch has some extra cruft in it that makes it tough to read.
Remove all your files ending in ~ and redo it. Thanks.

that still has whitespace noise, but it's easier to fix now

did you send this upstream ?  patch looks fine (havent tested it myself)

Sent it upstream when I made the patch(and when I fixed it).  Haven't heard
back from them yet.
