What unix is this on? Neither the mac nor gnu manpages have a -z or --zero-terminated option for head.

Debian's head (from GNU coreutils) does: https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/coreutils/head.1.en.htm...

Yay! Glad to see zero termination flags in more places.

EDIT: The linux manpages I read were from die.net, which it looks like were from 2010, guess I'll have to avoid them in the future. I checked FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Mac man page to make sure, and unfortunately none of them support the -z flag yet.
