Subject: [PATCH] test: switch to POSIX compliance symlink check
Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2019 23:40:57 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191221164057.24616-1-congdanhqx@gmail.com> (raw)

POSIX doesn't specify `-L' flag for test(1), POSIX specify `-h' for
checking symlink instead.

While most shells and test(1) implementation provides both `-L' and
`-h' for checking symlink,
OpenBSD and NetBSD says we shouldn't rely on its existence. [1]

Replace all usages of `test -L' with `test -h'.
