11<h2><a name="Conditions">Conditions</a></h2>
12 <p>Conditions are nested elements of the
13<a href="condition.html"><code>&lt;condition&gt;</code></a> and
14<a href="waitfor.html"><code>&lt;waitfor&gt;</code></a> tasks.
15 There are core conditions and custom conditions. Custom
16 conditions are described in
17 <a href="../CoreTypes/custom-programming.html#customconditions">
18 Custom Conditions</a>.
19 Core Conditions are described below.
20 </p>
21 <a name="coreconditions"></a><h3>Core Conditions</h3>
22
23<p>These are the nested elements that can be used as conditions in the
24<a href="condition.html"><code>&lt;condition&gt;</code></a> and
25<a href="waitfor.html"><code>&lt;waitfor&gt;</code></a> tasks.</p>
26
27<h4>not</h4>
28<p>The <code>&lt;not&gt;</code> element expects exactly one other
29condition to be nested into this element, negating the result of the
30condition. It doesn't have any attributes and accepts all nested
31elements of the condition task as nested elements as well.</p>
32
33<h4>and</h4> <p>
34The <code>&lt;and&gt;</code> element doesn't have any attributes and
35accepts an arbitrary number of conditions as nested elements - all
36nested elements of the condition task are supported. This condition
37is true if all of its contained conditions are, conditions will be
38evaluated in the order they have been specified in the build file.</p>
39<p>The <code>&lt;and&gt;</code> condition has the same shortcut
40semantics as the Java &amp;&amp; operator, as soon as one of the
41nested conditions is false, no other condition will be evaluated.</p>
42
43<h4>or</h4> <p>
44The <code>&lt;or&gt;</code> element doesn't have any attributes and
45accepts an arbitrary number of conditions as nested elements - all
46nested elements of the condition task are supported. This condition
47is true if at least one of its contained conditions is, conditions
48will be evaluated in the order they have been specified in the build
49file.</p> <p>The <code>&lt;or&gt;</code> condition has the same
50shortcut semantics as the Java || operator, as soon as one of the
51nested conditions is true, no other condition will be evaluated.</p>
52
53<h4>available</h4>
54<p>This condition is identical to the <a
55href="available.html">Available</a> task, all attributes and nested
56elements of that task are supported, the property and value attributes
57are redundant and will be ignored.</p>
58
59<h4>uptodate</h4>
60<p>This condition is identical to the <a
61href="uptodate.html">Uptodate</a> task, all attributes and nested
62elements of that task are supported, the property and value attributes
63are redundant and will be ignored.</p>
64
65<h4>os</h4>
66<p>Test whether the current operating system is of a given type. Each
67defined attribute is tested and the result is true only if <i>all</i>
68the tests succeed.

214This test does a byte for byte comparision, so test time scales with
215byte size. NB: if the files are different sizes , one of them is missing
216or the filenames match the answer is so obvious the detailed test is omitted.
