ARG1 = ARG2
ARG1 is equal to ARG2
ARG1 != ARG2
ARG1 is unequal to ARG2
ARG1 >= ARG2
ARG1 is greater than or equal to ARG2
ARG1 > ARG2
ARG1 is greater than ARG2
ARG1 + ARG2
arithmetic sum of ARG1 and ARG2
ARG1 - ARG2
arithmetic difference of ARG1 and ARG2
ARG1 * ARG2
arithmetic product of ARG1 and ARG2
ARG1 / ARG2
arithmetic quotient of ARG1 divided by ARG2
ARG1 % ARG2
arithmetic remainder of ARG1 divided by ARG2
STRING : REGEXP
anchored pattern match of REGEXP in STRING
match STRING REGEXP
same as STRING : REGEXP
substr STRING POS LENGTH
substring of STRING, POS counted from 1
index STRING CHARS

value of EXPRESSION
Beware that many operators need to be escaped or quoted for shells.

cal. Pattern matches return the string matched between and or null;
if and are not used, they return the number of characters matched or
0.
