测试命令

任何通过测试(-f)的文件都是常规文件:

$ test -f afile.zip && echo regular
regular

如果您查看手册页,test您将看到所有各种类型的文件。

统计命令

您还可以使用以下命令检查文件是否正常stat

$ stat afile.zip 
  File: `afile.zip'
  Size: 1512        Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: fd02h/64770d    Inode: 10370668    Links: 1
Access: (0664/-rw-rw-r--)  Uid: (  500/    saml)   Gid: (  501/    saml)
Access: 2013-11-07 15:52:06.719632792 -0500
Modify: 2013-11-07 15:52:00.949760104 -0500
Change: 2013-11-07 15:52:00.949760104 -0500

stat() 函数

要了解有关常规文件和其他可能类型之间的区别的更多信息,请查看stat.请务必查看程序员手册的手册页,而不是实际stat命令的手册页。

$ man 2 stat

答案2

我认为rm可能是一个别名rm -i。 “常规”部分并不意味着任何特殊的东西,它只意味着它不是管道、设备、套接字或任何其他“特殊”的东西。
