下面是if为true的一个实现。

# Function to test if a variable is set to "true"
_if () {
    [ "${1}" == "true" ] && return 0
    [ "${1}" == "True" ] && return 0
    [ "${1}" == "Yes" ] && return 0
    return 1
}

示例1

my_boolean=true

_if ${my_boolean} && {
    echo "True Is True"
} || {
    echo "False Is False"
}

示例2

my_boolean=false
! _if ${my_boolean} && echo "Not True is True"

替代-使用函数

is_ok(){ :;}
is_ok(){ return 1;}
is_ok && echo "It's OK" || echo "Something's wrong"

定义函数不那么直观，但是检查它的返回值非常容易。

与其伪造一个布尔值，给未来的读者留下一个陷阱，为什么不使用一个比真和假更好的值呢?

例如:

build_state=success
if something-horrible; then
  build_state=failed
fi

if [[ "$build_state" == success ]]; then
  echo go home; you are done
else
  echo your head is on fire; run around in circles
fi

这是一个关于在Bash中测试“布尔”值的不同方法的速度测试:

#!/bin/bash
rounds=100000

b=true # For true; b=false for false
type -a true
time for i in $(seq $rounds); do command $b; done
time for i in $(seq $rounds); do $b; done
time for i in $(seq $rounds); do [ "$b" == true ]; done
time for i in $(seq $rounds); do test "$b" == true; done
time for i in $(seq $rounds); do [[ $b == true ]]; done

b=x; # Or any non-null string for true; b='' for false
time for i in $(seq $rounds); do [ "$b" ]; done
time for i in $(seq $rounds); do [[ $b ]]; done

b=1 # Or any non-zero integer for true; b=0 for false
time for i in $(seq $rounds); do ((b)); done

它会打印出

true is a shell builtin
true is /bin/true

real    0m0,815s
user    0m0,767s
sys     0m0,029s

real    0m0,562s
user    0m0,509s
sys     0m0,022s

real    0m0,829s
user    0m0,782s

real    0m0,782s
user    0m0,730s
sys     0m0,015s

real    0m0,402s
user    0m0,391s
sys     0m0,006s

real    0m0,668s
user    0m0,633s
sys     0m0,008s

real    0m0,344s
user    0m0,311s
sys     0m0,016s

real    0m0,367s
user    0m0,347s
sys     0m0,017s

我对(我自己的)愚蠢的看法:

# setting ----------------
commonMode=false
if [[ $something == 'COMMON' ]]; then
    commonMode=true
fi

# using ----------------
if $commonMode; then
    echo 'YES, Common Mode'
else
    echo 'NO, no Common Mode'
fi

$commonMode && echo 'commonMode is ON  ++++++'
$commonMode || echo 'commonMode is OFF xxxxxx'

关于语法，这是一个简单的方法，我使用(通过例子)来一致和理智地管理布尔逻辑:

# Tests
var=
var=''
var=""
var=0
var=1
var="abc"
var=abc

if [[ -n "${var}" ]] ; then
    echo 'true'
fi
if [[ -z "${var}" ]] ; then
    echo 'false'
fi

# Results
# var=        # false
# var=''      # false
# var=""      # false
# var=0       # true
# var=1       # true
# var="abc"   # true
# var=abc     # true

如果变量从未被声明，答案是:# false

因此，将变量设置为true(使用这种语法方法)的简单方法是，var=1;相反,var = "。

参考:

如果var字符串的长度非零，则-n = True。

如果var字符串的长度为零，则-z = True。
