The `s6-test` program

- -

- s6-test evaluates an expression and indicates the result via its -exit status. -

- -

Interface

- -

-     s6-test expression...
-

- -

- s6-test acts as the generic -test utility, -but it diverges from the specification on one point: if an argument starts with a backslash, -this backslash is ignored (and the argument cannot be an operation). This is a simple -disambiguation technique that has unfortunately not been chosen by the standard. -

- -

- s6-test accepts an arbitrary number of arguments. -

- -

Exit codes

- -

0: the test is true
1: the test is false
100: wrong usage
101: internal error (should never happen, warrants a bug-report)
111: system call failure

- -

Posixness

- -

- s6-test is not suitable as a Single Unix -test -program; however, if your arguments never start with a backslash, it exhibits the -exact same behaviour. -

- -

Non-standard expressions

- -

-v VAR : tests whether the -VAR variable is defined in the current environment.
string =~ pattern : -tries to match string against extended regular expression -pattern. True if any part of string matches pattern; -in order to match whole strings, you must anchor pattern with -^ and $ markers.

- -

Notes

- -

This program is deprecated. It will disappear in a -near future version of s6-portable-utils. You are encouraged to use -eltest -instead, which has the same interface and functionality, and is a part of the -execline package.
