use of xargs and prune piping with find command.

Can anyone interpret and tell me the way the below command works?

find * -name "[0-9]*${msgType}" -mtime +${archiveDays} -prune -type f -print 2>/dev/null | xargs rm -f 2> /dev/null

Please tell me the usage of prune and xargs in the above command?

Looking forward your reply.

Thanks in advance.
