NAME
test - Check file types and compare values.
SYNOPSIS
test [-h|--help] [-V|--version]
DESCRIPTION
Check file types and compare values.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Print help
-V, --version
Print version
EXTRA
Exit with the status determined by EXPRESSION.
An omitted EXPRESSION defaults to false. Otherwise, EXPRESSION is true or false and sets exit status.
It is one of:
* ( EXPRESSION ) EXPRESSION is true * ! EXPRESSION EXPRESSION is false *
EXPRESSION1 -a EXPRESSION2 both EXPRESSION1 and EXPRESSION2 are true * EXPRESSION1 -o EXPRESSION2
either EXPRESSION1 or EXPRESSION2 is true
String operations: * -n STRING the length of STRING is nonzero * STRING
equivalent to -n STRING * -z STRING the length of STRING is zero * STRING1 = STRING2 the
strings are equal * STRING1 != STRING2 the strings are not equal
Integer comparisons: * INTEGER1 -eq INTEGER2 INTEGER1 is equal to INTEGER2 * INTEGER1 -ge INTEGER2
INTEGER1 is greater than or equal to INTEGER2 * INTEGER1 -gt INTEGER2 INTEGER1 is greater than INTEGER2
* INTEGER1 -le INTEGER2 INTEGER1 is less than or equal to INTEGER2 * INTEGER1 -lt INTEGER2 INTEGER1
is less than INTEGER2 * INTEGER1 -ne INTEGER2 INTEGER1 is not equal to INTEGER2
File operations: * FILE1 -ef FILE2 FILE1 and FILE2 have the same device and inode numbers * FILE1 -nt
FILE2 FILE1 is newer (modification date) than FILE2 * FILE1 -ot FILE2 FILE1 is older than FILE2
* -b FILE FILE exists and is block special * -c FILE FILE exists and is character special * -d
FILE FILE exists and is a directory * -e FILE FILE exists * -f FILE FILE exists and is a
regular file * -g FILE FILE exists and is set-group-ID * -G FILE FILE exists and is owned by the
effective group ID * -h FILE FILE exists and is a symbolic link (same as -L) * -k FILE FILE
exists and has its sticky bit set * -L FILE FILE exists and is a symbolic link (same as -h) * -N FILE
FILE exists and has been modified since it was last read * -O FILE FILE exists and is owned by the
effective user ID * -p FILE FILE exists and is a named pipe * -r FILE FILE exists and read
permission is granted * -s FILE FILE exists and has a size greater than zero * -S FILE FILE
exists and is a socket * -t FD file descriptor FD is opened on a terminal * -u FILE FILE exists
and its set-user-ID bit is set * -w FILE FILE exists and write permission is granted * -x FILE
FILE exists and execute (or search) permission is granted
Except for -h and -L, all FILE-related tests dereference (follow) symbolic links. Beware that
parentheses need to be escaped (e.g., by backslashes) for shells. INTEGER may also be -l STRING, which
evaluates to the length of STRING.
NOTE: Binary -a and -o are inherently ambiguous. Use test EXPR1 && test EXPR2 or test EXPR1 || test
EXPR2 instead.
NOTE: [ honors the --help and --version options, but test does not. test treats each of those as it
treats any other nonempty STRING.
NOTE: your shell may have its own version of test and/or [, which usually supersedes the version
described here. Please refer to your shell's documentation for details about the options it supports.
