linux shell 里面，真值为0，假值为非0

真是个神奇的现象～

linux c programming 里 有这么个程序

#!/bin/sh

yes_or_no() {
  echo "Is your name $* ?"
  while true
  do
    echo -n "Enter yes or no: "
    read x
    case "$x" in
      y | yes ) return 0;;
      n | no )  return 1;;
      * )       echo "Answer yes or no"
    esac
  done
}

echo "Original parameters are $*"

if yes_or_no "$1" 
then
  echo "Hi $1, nice name"
else
  echo "Never mind"
fi

exit 0

执行后的结果很有意思

$ ./func.sh pp hh
original parameters are pp hh
Is this your name pp ?
Enter yes or no:y
0 Hi pp, nice name

$ ./func.sh pp hh
original parameters are pp hh
Is this your name pp ?
Enter yes or no:n
1 Never mind

return值为0 进入then 1 进入else

也就是说在shell 里，真值为0 假值为非0

跟c正好相反
