drow@nevyn:~/testa% ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 drow drow 3 Sep 23 14:05 bar -> foo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 drow drow 8 Sep 23 14:05 baz -> nonexist
-rw-r--r-- 1 drow drow 0 Sep 23 14:05 foo
drow@nevyn:~/testa% test -f foo; echo $?

drow@nevyn:~/testa% test -f bar; echo $?

drow@nevyn:~/testa% test -f baz; echo $?
