-exec command
True if the executed command returns a zero value as
exit status. The end of command must be punctuated by
an escaped semicolon (;). A command argument { }
is replaced by the current path name. If the last
argument to -exec is { } and you specify + rather than
the semicolon (;), the command is invoked fewer times,
with { } replaced by groups of pathnames.
So, for example, you can use
find . -type f -name '*whatever*' -exec rm '{}' '+'
This avoids all the quoting issues as the files never even
pass through the pipe.
