Does every unix utility suport -print0 or similar?

My point wasn't specifically about find, but about the problems of text and other unstructured input/output in general.

Update: reading a bit around the internet, it looks like it's not possible to do something like this :

    find / -print0 | \
        grep something | \
        xargs -0 cat
As grep will mangle the output from find -print0.
