[SunHELP] what does {} \ mean?

[Kurt Huhn]

man find

"{}" takes the place of the current file - in other words, when you exec a
command on {} you are performing the command on the current file.  So,
ls-ldb {} \. lists the current file with -ldb options.  The "\." escapes the
command line -  so that find knows where the end is.  The "-exec" option is
repeated for every file returned by find.
