Hyphen char after shebang notation

Hi, I have a trivial question to ask, I am seeing in some shell scripts the '-' (hyphen) character following the first line of shell script (i.e) the shebang notation as follows: #!/bin/sh - #! /bin/bash - what does the hyphen signify? What will happen if it is not given explicitly?

shmidcat

SHMIDCAT(1)						     Shared Memory Trampoline						       SHMIDCAT(1)

NAME

       shmidcat - Copies stdin/file to a shared memory block for gtkwave(1)

SYNTAX

       shmidcat [VCDFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Copies  either  the  file specified at the command line or stdin (if no file specified) line by line to a shared memory block.  stdout will
       contain a shared memory ID which should be passed on to gtkwave(1).

EXAMPLES

       To run this program the standard way type:

       cat whatever.vcd | shmidcat
	      The shared memory ID is emitted to stdout.

       shmidcat whatever.vcd | gtkwave -v -I whatever.sav
	      GTKWave directly grabs the ID from stdin.

LIMITATIONS

       This program is mainly for illustrative and testing purposes only.  Its primary use is for people who wish to write interactive VCD dumpers
       for gtkwave(1) as its source code may be examined, particularly the emit_string() function.  It can also be used to test if an existing VCD
       file will load properly in interactive mode.  Note that it can also be used to redirect VCD files which are written into  a  pipe  to  gtk-
       wave(1) in a non-blocking fashion.
