Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers What does the '\' in find -exec command Post 302682427 by zaxxon on Monday 6th of August 2012 08:22:33 AM

It is to keep the shell from interpreting the semicolon and have it as part of the find command. Another option is to add just an unescaped + at the end of the find command. The + will execute the command with grouped arguments instead of per result found by find when using {} \; and so will have a better performance.
Maybe escaped and unescaped works in your shell (somehow), but the usual way is to escape it. I assume you will be on the safe side with that.
