from find(1):
-exec utility [argument ...];
True if the program named utility returns a zero value as its ex-
it status. Optional arguments may be passed to the utility. The
expression must be terminated by a semicolon (``;''). If the
string ``{}'' appears anywhere in the utility name or the argu-
ments it is replaced by the pathname of the current file.
Utility will be executed from the directory from which find was
executed.
