I'm curious if these are just synonyms or if there is any difference among these two notations used to iterate through an array in bash:
${array[@]}
${array[*]}
I use both in the same way and they don't seem to yield different results:
array=(one two three four)
for stuff in ${array[@]} ; do echo $stuff ; done
one
two
three
four
returns the same as:
array=(one two three four)
for stuff in ${array[*]} ; do echo $stuff ; done
one
two
three
four
Is there any difference or should I consider both identical?
