16.3.1 File type tests 
These options test for particular types of files.  (Everything's a file,
but not all files are the same!)
- `-b file'
 - 
True if file exists and is a block special device.
 - `-c file'
 - 
True if file exists and is a character special device.
 - `-d file'
 - 
True if file exists and is a directory.
 - `-f file'
 - 
True if file exists and is a regular file.
 - `-h file'
 - `-L file'
 - 
True if file exists and is a symbolic link.
 - `-p file'
 - 
True if file exists and is a named pipe.
 - `-S file'
 - 
True if file exists and is a socket.
 - `-t [fd]'
 - 
True if fd is opened on a terminal.  If fd is omitted, it
defaults to 1 (standard output).
