之前在编写Shell脚本时,对判断文件是否存在,没有明确区分了相关的参数选项。
先看官网说明:
Conditional Logic on Files
-a file exists.
-b file exists and is a block special file.
-c file exists and is a character special file.
-d file exists and is a directory.
-e file exists (just the same as -a).
-f file exists and is a regular file.
-g file exists and has its setgid(2) bit set.
-G file exists and has the same group ID as this process.
-k file exists and has its sticky bit set.
-L file exists and is a symbolic link.
-n string length is not zero.
-o Named option is set on.
-O file exists and is owned by the user ID of this process.
-p file exists and is a first in, first out (FIFO) special file or
named pipe.
-r file exists and is readable by the current process.
-s file exists and has a size greater than zero.
-S file exists and is a socket.
-t file descriptor number fildes is open and associated with a
terminal device.
-u file exists and has its setuid(2) bit set.
-w file exists and is writable by the current process.
-x file exists and is executable by the current process.
-z string length is zero.
从上述可知:
使用“-e"用于判断任何文件是否存在;
使用"-f "用于判断文件是否存在,而这个文件必须是常规文件。
常规文件包括:文件文件/二进制文件,链接文件(链接源文件存在存在)
非常规 文件包括:设备文件(/dev目录下的文件),socket文件
因此在判断/dev/目录下的文件是否存在时必须使用“-e”选项。
