Interpreter directive
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged with Shebang (Unix). (Discuss) Proposed since June 2014. |
An interpreter directive is a computer language construct that is used to control which interpreter parses and interprets the instructions in a computer program.[1] It is also commonly referred to as an interpreter designator.
- In Unix, Linux and other Unix-like operating systems (OS) the the Shebang command is the first line in a script, as it is used to tell the OS shell that this is to be executed and what scripting language to use when executing the script commands. The file system permissions must also be set so the script may be executed.[2][3][4] [5][6] [3][7] [3][8]
