Bug in command "test"

[Abhishek Verma]

Hi,

I have been training UNIX for a few months, and have come across a bug (I guess 
so)
With test command.

The problem is, with -f option it reports a symbolic link as a regular file.
For ex: say there is a file "f1" of type symbolic link, then

                If [ -f f1 ]; then
                                Echo reg file
                Else
                                Echo Not reg file
                Fi

The above code should give output as : "Not reg file"
But it happens to print "reg file".

I hope you would be able to help me with this.


Thanks and Regards,
Abhishek Kumar Verma
