The special parameter "$@" is referenced twice in the out script (page 425). Explain what would be different if the parameter "$*" were used in its place.
What will be an ideal response?
If you replace "$@" with "$*" in the out script, cat or less would be given
a single argument: a list of all files you specified on the command line
enclosed within single quotation marks. This list works when you specify a
single filename. When you specify more than one file, the shell reports No
such file or directory because there is not a file whose name matches the
string you specified on the command line (SPACEs are not considered special
characters when they are enclosed within single quotation marks).
