Block Comments

Asterisk also allows us to create block comments. A block comment is a comment that begins on one line, and continues for several lines. Block comments begin with the character sequence

;--

and continue across multiple lines until the character sequence

--;

is encountered. The block comment ends immediately after --; is encountered.

and continues across multiple lines, until we
get to here --;
