What does bash do with line 11 here?

  • 772

The nature of the question here is broad enough truly to include Ubuntu. I was just picking around forums analyzing this and that and line 11 puzzled me. What I would like to know is, what exactly is it doing? Am I wrong to believe it's related to the touch and mkdir commands? Or is that file assumed already created?

1 #! /bin/sh
2    
3 export EXTERNAL_STORAGE=/mnt/storage
4 PYTHONPATH=/mnt/storage/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/extras/python 
5 PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:
/data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload 
6 export PYTHONPATH 
7 export TEMP=/mnt/storage/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/extras/python/tmp 
8 export PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=$TEMP 
9 export PYTHONHOME=/data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python 
10 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python/lib 
11 /data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python/bin/python "$@"
command-line

    Your script is basically setting few environment variables (the export statements) before calling the "python for android" from this location:

    /data/data/com.googlecode.pythonforandroid/files/python/bin/python

    with the arguments $@ passed to your shell script.

    See this page for the meaning of $@.
