NAME
        test - return the result of a logical expression

SYNOPSIS
        test [parm1] operator parm2

DESCRIPTION
        Test will evaluate the expression given by the command-line arguments,
        and return 0 if the result is true, or 1 if the result is false.  The
        operators are as follows:

        -e parm2        - Named file exists
        -f parm2        - Is a regulare file
        -d parm2        - Is a directory
        parm1 =  parm2  - Determine if the two strings are equal
        parm1 != parm2  - Determine if the two strings are not equal
        parm1 <  parm2  - Determine if the parm1 is alphabetically before parm2
        parm1 >  parm2  - Determine if the parm1 is alphabetically after parm2
        -z parm2        - Test if parm2 is null
        -n parm2        - Test if parm2 is not null
        parm1 -eq parm2 - parm1 is numerically equal to parm2
        parm1 -ne parm2 - parm1 is numerically not equal to parm2
        parm1 -gt parm2 - parm1 is numerically greater than parm2
        parm1 -ge parm2 - parm1 is numerically greater than or equal to parm2
        parm1 -lt parm2 - parm1 is numerically less than parm2
        parm1 -le parm2 - parm1 is numerically less than or equal to parm2
