This is very useful and rare knowledge and the effort you took to explain t
Not a bug.
Do not use && || as if they were a replacement for if then else fi
they aren't. In some simple cases it all works out OK, but not in
general, as you discovered. If you mean if x; then y; else z; fi
then write that, not x && y || z
The way and-or lists work, is that the first command

There is no inconsistency. In the first example you define a function

the name `c'. Surel
