System Feature
comment
Purpose
Specifies comment within command lines.
Syntax
# [ <comment> ]
Description
The sharp sign (#) is the comment character.
Any text starting with the comment character, till
the end of the line, is considered a comment.
Generous use of comments in a program makes the
program much more readable, and therefore, much more
reusable.
Restrictions
When the comment character is not intended to be the
start of a comment, enclose it in double quotes.
Valid Examples
echo $fileCount
# fileCount is the number of files
# matching our criteria.
Invalid Examples
echo Customer# $custNumber
If the intent is to print the word customer# followed
by the value of variable $custNumber, it will not be
served. Only the word Customer will be printed. Use
the following instead.
echo "Customer#" $custNumber
