It's a logical AND statement, used as a trick to run a subsequent
command *only* if the first command returned a 'success' value.
The evaluation of the expression (X && Y) is false if either X *or* Y
are false, so Y will not even be evaluated if X is found false.
This is fairly commonly used, in commands such as :
make && make install
which will only run the second installation command if the compilation
stage is found to have worked.
