Dear colleagues,=0A=0Athis might have been reported before (or not), but th=
ere is a confusing description in the man page of the "test command:=0A=0A#=
##=0A-e FILE=0A=C2=A0 FILE exists=0A=0A-L FILE=0A=C2=A0 FILE exists and is =
a symbolic link (same as -h)=0A=0A###=0A=0AThe problem here is the situatio=
n of a broken symlink. When flag -e is used on a broken symbolic link, it f=
ails. But when -L is used on a broken symlink, it returns true.=0A=0AWhile =
this may be the expected behavior, it does not reflect what the documentati=
on says. Because if -e fails on a broken symlink ("FILE exists") one would =
assume that the same of course is true for -L. The correct description for =
-L should be:=0A=0A###=0A-e FILE=0A=C2=A0 FILE exists or is valid symbolic =
link=0A=0A-L FILE=0A=C2=A0 FILE is a symbolic link, whether broken or not (=
same as -h)=0A=0A###=0A=0AKind Regards,=0AKaulkwappe
