[Bug 2149865] Re: Strange executable '[' found in cargo/bin/coreutils on Resolute

[Richard Scott McNew]

'[' is the coreutils "lbracket" command which is also called "test".

It is one of the coreutils commands originally found in the GNU
coreutils:

https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/master/src/lbracket.c


More information about it can be found here:  

https://www.maizure.org/projects/decoded-gnu-coreutils/test.html


You can also run:

'/usr/bin/[' --help

And you will see the help message.
