The documentation specifies the usual exit convention, but doesn’t say what
counts as success. For example, I would like
mv -i a b || (diff a b && rm a)
to rename a if b does not exist and to remove a if they are identical, but it
doesn’t work.
I'm afraid that's a bit vague. What wording change do you suggest?
