if list; then list; [ elif list; then list; ] ... [ else list; ] fi

Otherwise, each elif list is executed in turn, and if its exit status is zero, the corresponding then list is executed and the command completes. Otherwise, the else list is executed, if present.
The exit status is the exit status of the last command executed, or zero if no condition tested true.)
