<P><FONT SIZE="+1"><B>Using the test Command</B></FONT></P>

<P>Many of the shell scripts used in this chapter expect users to behave nicely. The scripts have no check to see whether users have permission to copy or move files or whether what the users were dealing with was an ordinary file rather than a directory. The <TT>test</TT> command can deal with these issues as well as some others. For example, <TT>test -f abc</TT> is successful if abc exists and is a regular file.</P>

<P>You can reverse the meaning of a test by using an exclamation point in front of the option. For example, to test that you don&#146;t have read permission for file abc, use <TT>test ! -r abc</TT>. Table 18.7 lists several options for the <TT>test</TT> command.</P>
