Here is how to run a command on one file at a time.
find
takes
all arguments after `-exec' to be part of the command until an
argument consisting of `;' is reached. It replaces the string
`{}' by the current file name being processed everywhere it
occurs in the command. Both of these constructions need to be escaped
(with a `\') or quoted to protect them from expansion by the shell.
The command is executed in the directory in which find
was run.
For example, to compare each C header file in the current directory with the file `/tmp/master':
find . -name '*.h' -exec diff -u '{}' /tmp/master ';'
