Including comments in a file

You can include a comment on a line by itself or at the end of a hostname line.

Comment lines must begin with # and end with a <NEWLINE>. For example:

# Linux build hosts
kimballs    # CPU x86_64, 3 GHz, Avail Mem 4GB
palo        # CPU x86_64, 3 GHz, Avail Mem 8GB

With the exception of #include, a number sign (#) always indicates the start of a comment and clearmake ignores the rest of the line.
