Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
``if`` will execute the command ``CONDITION``. If the condition's exit status is 0, the commands ``COMMANDS_TRUE`` will execute. If the exit status is not 0 and :ref:`else <cmd-else>` is given, ``COMMANDS_FALSE`` will be executed.
|
|
|
|
You can use :ref:`and <cmd-and>` or :ref:`or <cmd-or>` in the condition. See the second example below.
|
|
|
|
The exit status of the last foreground command to exit can always be accessed using the :ref:`$status <variables-status>` variable.
|
|
|
|
The **-h** or **--help** option displays help about using this command.

Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The following code will print ``foo.txt exists`` if the file foo.txt exists and is a regular file, otherwise it will print ``bar.txt exists`` if the file bar.txt exists and is a regular file, otherwise it will print ``foo.txt and bar.txt do not exist``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
if test -f foo.txt
|
|
echo foo.txt exists
|
|
else if test -f bar.txt
|
|
echo bar.txt exists
|
|
else
|
|
echo foo.txt and bar.txt do not exist
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following code will print "foo.txt exists and is readable" if foo.txt is a regular file and readable
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
if test -f foo.txt
|
|
and test -r foo.txt
|
|
echo "foo.txt exists and is readable"
|
|
end
