test

test(1) General Commands Manual test(1)

Name
test - test conditional expression

Syntax
test expr
[ expr ]

Description
The command evaluates the expression expr. If the value of expr is true, the command returns a zero exit status; otherwise, it returns a
nonzero exit status. The command also returns a nonzero exit status if no arguments are specified.

Options
The following primitives are used to construct expr:

-r file Tests if the file exists and is readable.

-w file Tests if the file exists and is writable.

-f file Tests if the file exists and is not a directory.

-d file Tests if the file exists and is a directory.

-s file Tests if the file exists and has a size greater than zero.

-t [ fildes ] Tests if the open file, whose file descriptor number is fildes (1 by default), is associated with a terminal device.

-z s1 Tests if the length of string s1 is zero.

-n s1 Tests if the length of the string s1 is nonzero.

s1 = s2 Tests if the strings s1 and s2 are equal.

s1 != s2 Tests if the strings s1 and s2 are not equal.

s1 Tests if s1 is not the null string.

n1 -eq n2 Tests if number1 equals number2.

n1 -ge n2 Tests if number1 is greater than or equal to number2.

n1 -gt n2 Tests if number1 is greater than number2.

n1 -le n2 Tests if number1 is less than or equal to number2.

n1 -lt n2 Tests if number1 is less than number2.

n1 -ne n2 Tests if number1 is not equal to number2.

These primitives can be combined with the following operators:

!expr Negates evaluation of expression.

expr -a expr Tests logical and of two expressions.

expr -o expr Tests logical or of two expressions.

( expr... ) Groups expressions.

The -a operator takes precedence over the -o operator. Note that all the operators and flags are separate arguments to Note also that
parentheses are meaningful to the Shell and must be escaped.
