New Revision: 207485
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/207485

Log:
  pathchk(1): Fix the example so it allows arbitrary pathnames.
  
  Spaces and various other characters in pathnames are not passed through
  literally by xargs in its default mode. Instead, use find . -exec ... {} +
  
  Although the -- argument is not strictly required here, add it anyway to
  avoid surprises when modifying the code to find -f -somedir ...
