I can't seem to find anywhere how to syntactically reference a range of parameters in the script I am trying to write.

My script requires at least 2 parameters to run, with parameter 1 being the main file, which I want appended to x amount of target files, which will be parameters 2 through whatever.

I know how to reference parameters separately like $1, $2, etc., and how to reference all parameters like $#, but how can I reference all parameters except for parameter 1?

Example:

For all parameters except $1
do
if [ ! -rw $?] then;
echo "Permission denied!"
exit
fi
done
