# 2.4. Comments

Comments in a makefile start with a `#` character and extend to the end of the line. They may appear anywhere you want them, except in a shell command (though the shell will treat it as a comment, too). If, for some reason, you need to use the `#` in a variable or on a dependency line, put a backslash in front of it. PMake will compress the two into a single `#`.
