<title>FHS compliance notes</title>
<para>There is a command installed in this package which is named test. It is
often used in shell scripts to evaluate conditions, but is more often
encountered in the form of <command>[ condition ]</command>. These brackets
are built into the bash interpreter, but the FHS dictates that there should be a
<filename>[</filename> binary. We create that in this way, while still in the
<filename>/usr/bin</filename> directory:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>ln -sf test [</userinput></screen></para>
