In these specific cases Bob showed ways to avoid passing a zillion
arguments to the commands. But sometimes it is not possible to avoid.
In those cases, xargs is your friend, as in
find -name \*.c | xargs ls
or whatever.
As for tar, let me also mention that it has an option (T) to read the
file list from a file.
