From "help test":

        -n STRING       True if string is empty.
        STRING          True if string is not empty.

From test.c:

        case 'n':               /* True if arg has some length. */
          advance (0);
          break;

Obviously the help text in builtins.c is wrong.

Also, some options to test are missing in the help text (-z, -x ...)
