Ok may be my wording is not correct, but yet it require a good reading compile to get it right, first read all about [[ that is at the top of the man (at 5%), then get the 'CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS' distingo between [[ vs [ (at 40%) and finally get to 'test expr' (at 92%) to discover the whole thing about -a vs -e (same for other options), a little heads up when quick reading directly at 'CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS' would not hurt and not jeopardise the docco semantic I guess?
