bash - What does it mean to have a $"dollarsign-prefixed string" in a script? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

I just saw this in an init script: echo $"Stopping Apache" What is that dollar-sign for? My research so far: I found this in the bash manual: extquote If set, $'string' and $"string" quoting is performed within ${parameter} expansions enclosed in double quotes. This option is enabled by default. ...but I'm not finding any difference between strings with and without the $ prefix: $ echo "I am in $P

#bash や #zsh での、ドルマークを付した引用符。よく分からないまま使っていたけれどコレで疑問が氷解した。man bash とかで検索すると extquote オプションがヒットするけど説明不足なのよね (´・ω・｀)
