%s is a format specifier for printf command. Using the format string %s causes the arguments to be concatenated without intervening spaces. It interprets the associated argument literally as string. Joe Smith. Knows FORTRAN, 36-bit MACRO assembler, Perl, and Bash.
$? is the exit status of the most recently-executed command; by convention, 0 means success and anything else indicates failure. That line is testing whether the grep command succeeded. The grep manpage states: The exit status is 0 if selected lines are found, and 1 if not found.
• $* - It stores complete set of positional parameter in a single string. • $@ - Quoted string treated as separate arguments. • $? - exit status of command.
