    _______________________________________________________

Details:

on the man page I read:

--delimiter=delim, -d delim
              Input items are terminated by the specified character. (...)

when I run:

$find /usr/share/java | xargs -d :

this is the output:

/usr/share/java/antlr.debug.jar
/usr/share/java/antlr.jar
/usr/share/java/com-sun-javadoc.jar
/usr/share/java/antlrall.jar
(...)

while the following was expected:

/usr/share/java/antlr.debug.jar:/usr/share/java/antlr.jar:/usr/share/java/com-sun-javadoc.jar:/usr/share/java/antlrall.jar:(...)
