Subject: [9fans]  inequality testing in shell
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2015 23:08:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAL+bK4M48=+rCFUXgEeWY4p6H1+46v-yZVYGH5-hVkJMfmxpDw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Why doesn't the plan9 test program have features for checking
inequalities (i.e. greater than etc.)?
What do you guys do when you want to test for inequality?

Maybe the most convenient way to do that in the shell would be if I
made two tiny programs, lt & gt which would check their two arguments.
