@OleTange: This is an important issue. In this case, a solution with find would be even longer: find . -maxdepth 1 ! -path . -printf "%f\0"

@OleTange: I would have used find -maxdepth 1 -printf "%f\0" but your suggestion is probably easier to remember and with bash it's a builtin.

@Cyrus The alternative is not find because you need to disable recursion and remove ./ from the . The alternative is printf "%s\0" * (but it does not work in *csh if the list is too long).

@OleTange: I agree that in this case it is fine as long as the filename does not contain newlines. For safety reasons I recommend switching to GNU find's and parallel's -0.

@Cyrus Parsing ls (without any options) is in practice safe if you know your filenames do not contain newlines. In my 25 years of sysadmin I have only seen that from malicious users, f*cked filesystems, or test files I have created myself.

Please note: Why not parse ls?
