The command "find ${path_to_check} -type f -size +${size_in_mega_byte}M" is used to search for files within a specific directory based on their size. The ${path_to_check} should be replaced with the actual directory or path you want to search. The option -type f specifies that only regular files should be included in the search. The option -size +${size_in_mega_byte}M sets the size criterion, where ${size_in_mega_byte} should be replaced with the desired file size in megabytes. The command will find all regular files within the specified directory that are larger than the specified size.
