How to use block comments in Bash Script¶
| bash |
What is the simplest way to define block comment in Bash script?
I’ve selected two approaches for myself:
- Use here document
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "before block comment"
: <<'END'
Some long
myltiline
text
END
echo "after block comment"
- Use “if” false block
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "before block comment"
if [ ]; then
Some long
myltiline
text
fi
echo "after block comment"
