Linux shell 中“find”命令的“-newer $file”选项如何工作？

Question

我有以下linux命令。

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

我很难理解这个选项-newer $SENTFILE。有人能解释一下这个选项吗？

从man find：

\n\n

-newer file\n    File  was  modified  more recently than file.  If file is a sym\xe2\x80\x90\n    bolic link and the -H option or the -L option is in effect,  the\n    modification time of the file it points to is always used.\n
