To ensure that a backslash has the same meaning in read's input as it
does in find's output.
In an empty directory:
$ touch 'foo\bar'
$ find . -name 'foo*'
./foo\bar
$ find . -name 'foo*' | { read f ; printf '%s\n' "$f" ; }
./foobar
$ find . -name 'foo*' | { read -r f ; printf '%s\n' "$f" ; }
./foo\bar
