[PATCH] tools: perf: prefer clarity in setup_pager

From: Michal Nazarewicz
Date: Sun Jul 06 2014 - 13:42:33 EST


â!(pager || access(â))â is indeed pretty smart way to write
â!pager && access(â) == 0â but other than being clever it gives
no advantages and merely confuses the reader who needs to wonder
what is actually going on.

As such, replace the checks with much cleaner ones.

Also, while at it, merge the lest â!pagerâ test with the next
test that yields true after the â!pagerâ if's body is executed.
