[NTLUG:Discuss] The [ 32-bit ELF executable

[Leroy Tennison]

On SuSE 10.3 there is a /usr/bin/[ executable (yes, the name of the 
program is simply the open square bracket).  Doing a little research:

file /usr/bin/[
/usr/bin/[: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), 
for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Is this how BASH implements [ ?
