In Bash, you can use the \
character to continue a command or script on the next line.
Here's an example of how to use the \
character to continue a command on the next line:
long_command \ option1 \ option2 \ option3Sourcww:ew.lautturi.com
In this example, the long_command
command is continued on the next line, with each option on a separate line. This can make the script more readable and easier to maintain.
You can also use the \
character to continue a script on the next line. For example:
if [ condition1 ] && \ [ condition2 ] then # do something fi
In this example, the if
statement is continued on the next line, with each condition on a separate line.
