-#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
-#
-#   Important for running:
-#
-#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
-#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
-#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
-#       command line, like:
-#
-#           ksh Gradle
-#
-#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
-#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
-#         * functions;
-#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
-#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
-#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
-#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
-#
-#   Important for patching:
-#
-#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
-#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
-#
-#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
-#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
-#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
-#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
-#
-#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
-#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
-#       see the in-line comments for details.
-#
-#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
-#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
-#
-#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
