  names for this, it should be\nnoted that V8 already has a program for this, newer(1).
  \ It takes two\nfilenames as arguments, and exits with status 0 if and only if either\n(a)
  the first exists and the second does not, or (b) both exist and the\nfirst's modification
  time is at least as recent as the second's.  Other-\nwise it exits with non-zero
  status.  (The preceding two sentences are\nessentially the whole of the manual page
  for it.)\n \nRelatively few people have V8, but in the absence of any other precedent\nfor
  what this facility should like look, it seems reasonable to follow\nV8's lead:\n\nnewer
  file1 file2\n\nexit with 0 status if file1 exists and file2 does not, or if file1's
  last\nmodified time is at least as recent as file2's.\n"
