The main different is that -exec will execute clanscan once for
each file, while your solution using xargs will provide the
whole list of files as a parameter. Just be cause because the
way you are doing it, you have 3 possible risks:
1) The command line will get too long, and the command won't execute
2) The command line will get too long, will be truncated, and you can
get a different result
3) Filenames with special character, even a space, can give you small
headaches
Both solutions are valid, and both have positive and negative aspects.
Choosing between them should be done on a case by case basis.
