I am working with some open-source code and I wanted to make sure I understand what they mean.

They run a command which goes like this:

python /some_directory/zipfile.zip "$@"

Two questions: I read about "$@", and I thi

  1. Does "$@" mean that all arguments which are passed, pass along to the python command?
  2. What does the python command run exactly in a zip file? I suspect that it runs a file called __main__.py inside the zip file. Is that true?

Thanks in advance!

  1. "$@" No, it does't pass along to the python command. $@ is special if written in double quotes. Then it will result in a list of quoted values, in your case, trusktr, in the three arguments "foo", "bar", and "boo far"

  2. yes, its only Runs file called main.py inside the zip file.
