What does :: (double colon) mean in DOS batch files? -


i found program http://baiyunmanor.com/blog/work/get-current-date-time-in-dos-batch-file/

but don't know line

:: datetime.bat 

at end mean?

:: (also called comment label) comment rem is.

there differences between them. main ones are:

  • with echo on rem line showed not line commented ::
  • a :: can execute line end caret (that is, ^ @ end of line starting :: makes next line comment).
  • labels , :: have special logic , can cause problems in parenthesis blocks - take care when using them inside ( ).
