I was wondering if that [ program is supposed to be there, or if it's a typo. If I run info [ I get the info page for test, so I wasn't certain if they were related.
They are the same, [ is for systems that don't have [ builtin into the shell. Consider the following shell expresion: if [ -z $foo ]; then foo; else bar; fi You could also write the above using `test', test -z $foo. Cheers. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
