What does %* mean?

Question

I installed pychecker and noticed the batch file I should use to run pychecker has these entries:

C:\Python26\python.exe

C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pychecker\checker.py %*

What does the second line mean?

Answer 1

What you are seeing isn't Python code. It is a Windows command script.

%* means pass all the arguments that you passed to the batch file.
