$#, $!, $? etc...

Hi all,

In Bash shell, do the references $#, $$ etc have a collective name?

Also is there any way of finding a comprehensive list of those that are available and what information they store?

many thanks

They are "shell special variables".

The best place to look is probably the man-page for the shell (except on AIX where the man-page is probably rubbish!)
