\subsection if-description 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 `else` is given, `COMMANDS_FALSE` will be executed.
|
|
|
|
You can use <a href="#and">`and`</a> or <a href="#or">`or`</a> in the condition. See the second example below.
|
|
|
|
The exit status of the last foreground command to exit can always be accessed using the <a href="index.html#variables-status">$status</a> variable.

\subsection if-example 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`.
|
|
|
|
\fish
|
|
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
|
|
\endfish
|
|
|
|
The following code will print "foo.txt exists and is readable" if foo.txt is a regular file and readable
|
|
\fish
|
|
if test -f foo.txt
|
|
and test -r foo.txt
|
|
echo "foo.txt exists and is readable"
