Making Your Own Commands
Comments in Command Files
A line in a command file that begins with an asterisk (*) is a comment. A
comment is usually an informative note to yourself or to the next person who
might edit the file; the note is usually about the previous or next command in
the file. The command interpreter ignores any line in a command file that
begins with an asterisk.
If the very first character in the whole command file is an asterisk, it has a
special meaning. When the first character is an asterisk, the lines in the
command file are not printed on the command terminal when that command file
is executed. So, if you are having problems with a command file, removing the
first asterisk can be useful in debugging.
If the first character is not an asterisk, all the lines in the command file,
including comment lines, are printed on the command terminal when the file is
executed. Except when you are testing your command files, you almost always
want an asterisk as the first character.
If a line in a command file has a backbackquote (‘) as its last character, the
command may be continued on the next line. This is useful for echo strings that
are too long to fit in 80 columns.
