Comments

Comments can be used to explain Shell code, and to make it more readable. It can also be used to prevent execution Shell code. Comments can be singled-lined or multi-lined.

Single-line Comments

Single-line comments start with two forward slashes (//).
Any text between // and the end of the line is ignored (will not be executed).

This example uses a single-line comment before a line of code:

dynamic 
{
	// This is a comment
	item(title='Hello World!')

	//item(title='Hello World!')
}

This example uses a single-line comment at the end of a line of code:

dynamic 
{
    item(title='Hello World!') // This is a comment
}

Multi-line Comments

Multi-line comments start with /* and ends with */.
Any text between /* and */ will be ignored.

dynamic
{
	item(title='Hello,/* multiple-lines comment inside */ world')

	/*
	item(title='test item 1')
	item(title='test item 2')
	*/
}

Single or multi-line comments?
It is up to you which you want to use. Normally, we use // for short comments, and /* */ for longer.
