Message-ID: <85ddf2f6f3d679b9fc463f5dda358380@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <96c995c7f80addcb2620cc3dde33e755@plan9.jp>
The new termrc avoids using test when looking for swap partitions.
The old termrc sometimes invoked test as
test -f file1 file2
which is incorrect, though tolerated by the new test command because
of the need to tolerate unprocessed arguments in the presence of
short-circuit -a and -o evaluation. If test were modified to process
all its arguments at the start (presumably building an expression
tree), it could then complain about excess arguments again.
