Query in if condition
----
Code:
srcfile=/xxx/yyy/abc.txt
Mode=1
if [ -s $srcfile -o "$Mode" -eq "0" ]; then
        
    echo "inside if"
else
    echo "not inside if"
fi

----

The size of the file /xxx/yyy/abc.txt is 1 mb
If i exec the above if condition, what is the output that i will get?

what does "-o " means in the if condition

The version is unix that i am using is AIX 6.1

Thanks

Rather than posting to this forum to answer questions like this wouldn't it be a lot simpler to just execute the if statement to see what output it produces and run the command:
Code:
man [
  or
man test

and look for the description of the -o binary operator?
