Bash Version: 4.4 Patch Level: 5 Release Status: release Description: The ~ operator is called not, and does a one's complement of the following value. That works correctly with $ echo $(( ~1 )) -2 Even with $ echo $(( ~0 )) -1 But fails with this: $ echo $((~0)) bash: /home/user: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/home/user") Repeat-By: Use $((~0)) (without spaces) to generate the error.
