I know that Bash ignores the # character at the beginning of shell script lines. But in documentation I’d like to add them at the end of lines for documentation:
ls -l #long directory listing
Just in case somebody copies and pastes the literal information I’ve written, will Bash ignore everything after the # character? For every command? (It seems to work in informal testing, but a reference to some definitive answer would be nice.) Thanks!

Yes you can add a comment using the “#” at the end of a command: Please refer to the following link http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/special-chars.html
