linux - linux shell中 "-newer $file"命令的 "find"选项是如何工作的？

Question

我有以下 linux 命令。

find ${MOUNT_POINT} -type f -name "VM*" -newer $SENTFILE -print0 | xargs -0 -i cp {} ${TMP_DIR}

我很难理解选项 -newer $SENTFILE。谁能解释一下这个选项？

Answer 1

来自 man find:

-newer file
    File  was  modified  more recently than file.  If file is a sym‐
    bolic link and the -H option or the -L option is in effect,  the
    modification time of the file it points to is always used.
