.Sh LIST FILES
.Nm
can receive a list of files as input. The paths should be NUL-separated ('\\0')
but doesn't need to be NUL-terminated. Paths and can be relative to the current
directory or absolute.

Input is limited by 65,536 paths or 256 MiB of input.

.Nm
in this mode by writing to its standard input. So the output of another command
can be piped to it. For example, to list files in current directory larger than

.Pp
A temporary directory will be created containing symlinks to the given
paths. Any action performed on these symlinks will be performed only on their
targets, after which they might become invalid.
.Pp
Though the term "files" is used, any input is valid as long as it's a valid
path. Invalid paths will be ignored.
.Sh UNITS
The minimum file size unit is byte (B). The rest are K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y
(powers of 1024), same as the default units in \fIls\fR.
