Linux: Refer to all arguments of a script call

In shell scripts you can use $1 to refer to the first argument, $2 for the second, etc. If you want to refer to all arguments (e.g. when writing a bash script that takes an arbitrary amount of arguments and passes them on to another call), you may not want to do a “$1 $2 $3 $4 ...”.

Use $@ instead, like in this script:
$ cat welcome
#!/bin/bash
echo Hello to $@

When called, the above would produce this:
$ ./welcome the world and universe
Hello to the world and universe

Note that $@ works for both sh and bash.
