COMMENT(OPCS) Optical Printer Control System COMMENT(OPCS)
NAME
'#' - the comment marker
USAGE
# [comment text]
EXAMPLE
# This is a valid comment
cam 12 pro 12 # This is also a valid comment
DESCRIPTION
The pound sign '#' is used as a delimiter for comment text. All text
to the right of '#' up to the end of the line will be ignored by the
OPCS command parser. This allows you to place text comments into run
scripts without fear of having the comment executed as a command.
'#' can appear as the first character on a line, or after the last
command on a line.
cam 12 pro 12 # Comment text can be anything
BUGS
None.
ORIGIN
Adapted after examples set in such UNIX utilities as SH, CSH, and
many others. # is a standard way of delimiting comments under UNIX.
