doing 'man test' yields the following:
Code:
          condition1 -a condition2
                True if both condition1 and condition2 are  true.
                The -a binary primary is left associative and has
                higher precedence than the -o binary primary.

          condition1 -o condition2
                True if either condition1 or condition2 is  true.
                The -o binary primary is left associative.
