.Nm \&[

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility evaluates the expression and, if it evaluates
|
|
to true, returns a zero (true) exit status; otherwise
|
|
it returns 1 (false).
|
|
If there is no expression, test also
|
|
returns 1 (false).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All operators and flags are separate arguments to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility.
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
|
True if string
|
|
.Ar \&s\&1
|
|
comes before
|
|
.Ar \&s\&2
|
|
based on the binary value of their characters.
|
|
.It Ar \&s\&1 Cm \&> Ar \&s\&2
|
|
True if string
|
|
.Ar \&s\&1
|
|
comes after

|
based on the binary value of their characters.
|
|
.It Ar \&n\&1 Fl \&eq Ar \&n\&2
|
|
True if the integers
|

|
|
and
|
|
.Ar \&n\&2
|
|
are algebraically
|
|
equal.
|
|
.It Ar \&n\&1 Fl \&ne Ar \&n\&2
|
|
True if the integers

|
.It Ar \&n\&1 Fl \< Ar \&n\&2
|
|
True if the integer
|
|
.Ar \&n\&1

is algebraically less
|
|
than the integer
|
|
.Ar \&n\&2 .
|
|
.It Ar \&n\&1 Fl \&le Ar \&n\&2
|
|
True if the integer
|
|
.Ar \&n\&1

|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is a symbolic link,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will fully dereference it and then evaluate the expression
|
|
against the file referenced, except for the
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
primaries.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These primaries can be combined with the following operators:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ar
|
|
.It Cm \&! Ar expression
|
|
True if
|
|
.Ar expression
|
|
is false.
|
|
.It Ar expression1 Fl a Ar expression2
|
|
True if both
|
|
.Ar expression1
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar expression2
|
|
are true.
|
|
.It Ar expression1 Fl o Ar expression2
|
|
True if either
|
|
.Ar expression1
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar expression2
|
|
are true.
|
|
.It Cm \&( Ns Ar expression Ns Cm \&)
|
|
True if expression is true.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
operator has higher precedence than the
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
operator.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some shells may provide a builtin
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command which is similar or identical to this utility.
|
|
Consult the
|
|
.Xr builtin 1
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.Sh GRAMMAR AMBIGUITY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
grammar is inherently ambiguous.
|
|
In order to assure a degree of consistency,
|
|
the cases described in the
|
|
.St -p1003.2 ,
|
|
section D11.2/4.62.4, standard
|
|
are evaluated consistently according to the rules specified in the
|
|
standards document.
|
|
All other cases are subject to the ambiguity in the
|
|
command semantics.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits with one of the following values:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It 0
|
|
expression evaluated to true.
|
|
.It 1
|
|
expression evaluated to false or expression was
|
|
missing.
|
|
.It >1
|
|
An error occurred.

.Sh STANDARDS

|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility implements a superset of the
|
|
.St -p1003.2
|
|
specification.
