The + is simply a delimiter to tell find where the -exec command ends. Convenient, because it means that we can avoid a heap of multiple escaping and quoting. (normally, these sort of commands are entered as a single unit, which means quoting with ' or ", escaping with many \\\\'s, or some hellish combination of the three! )
