$PRODUCES test.c

$BUILTIN test
$FUNCTION test_builtin
$SHORT_DOC test [expr]
Exits with a status of 0 (true) or 1 (false) depending on
the evaluation of EXPR.  Expressions may be unary or binary.  Unary
expressions are often used to examine the status of a file.  There
are string operators as well, and numeric comparison operators.

File operators:

    -a FILE        True if file exists.
    -b FILE        True if file is block special.
    -c FILE        True if file is character special.
    -d FILE        True if file is a directory.
    -e FILE        True if file exists.
    -f FILE        True if file exists and is a regular file.
    -g FILE        True if file is set-group-id.
    -h FILE        True if file is a symbolic link.
    -L FILE        True if file is a symbolic link.
    -k FILE        True if file has its `sticky' bit set.
    -p FILE        True if file is a named pipe.
    -r FILE        True if file is readable by you.
    -s FILE        True if file exists and is not empty.
    -S FILE        True if file is a socket.
    -t FD          True if FD is opened on a terminal.
    -u FILE        True if the file is set-user-id.
    -w FILE        True if the file is writable by you.
    -x FILE        True if the file is executable by you.
    -O FILE        True if the file is effectively owned by you.
    -G FILE        True if the file is effectively owned by your group.
    -N FILE        True if the file has been modified since it was last read.

  FILE1 -nt FILE2  True if file1 is newer than file2 (according to
                   modification date).

  FILE1 -ot FILE2  True if file1 is older than file2.

  FILE1 -ef FILE2  True if file1 is a hard link to file2.

String operators:

    -z STRING      True if string is empty.

    -n STRING
    STRING         True if string is not empty.

    STRING1 = STRING2
                   True if the strings are equal.
    STRING1 != STRING2
                   True if the strings are not equal.
    STRING1 < STRING2
                   True if STRING1 sorts before STRING2 lexicographically.
    STRING1 > STRING2
                   True if STRING1 sorts after STRING2 lexicographically.

Other operators:

    -o OPTION      True if the shell option OPTION is enabled.
    ! EXPR         True if expr is false.
    EXPR1 -a EXPR2 True if both expr1 AND expr2 are true.
    EXPR1 -o EXPR2 True if either expr1 OR expr2 is true.

    arg1 OP arg2   Arithmetic tests.  OP is one of -eq, -ne,
                   -lt, -le, -gt, or -ge.

Arithmetic binary operators return true if ARG1 is equal, not-equal,
less-than, less-than-or-equal, greater-than, or greater-than-or-equal
than ARG2.

This is a synonym for the "test" builtin, but the last
argument must be a literal `]', to match the opening `['.
