command language

AND and OR lists are sequences of one of more pipelines separated by the &&  and  ||  control  operators,
respectively.  AND and OR lists are executed with left associativity.  An AND list has the form

       command1 && command2

command2 is executed if, and only if, command1 returns an exit status of zero.

An OR list has the form

       command1 || command2

command2  is  executed  if and only if command1 returns a non-zero exit status.  The return status of AND
and OR lists is the exit status of the last command executed in the list.
