>From the manpage:
-newerXY reference
Compares the timestamp of the current file with reference. The
reference argument is normally the name of a file (and one of
its timestamps is used for the comparison) but it may also be a
string describing an absolute time. X and Y are placeholders
for other letters, and these letters select which time belonging
to how reference is used for the comparison.
The final sentence is ungrammatical. Nothing explicitly says what X
and Y are. It is possible, with close reading, to infer from the
discussion of invalid combinations that X is which timestamp of the
current file to look at, and Y is how the reference value or filename
is dealt with. I think there must be some text missing near `belong
to how reference'.
The text in the info node `(find.info.gz)Comparing Timestamps' is much
better.
Thanks,
Ian.
