the value of parameter (2+
n), and so on. The parameters represented by
the numbers
"$#" down to
"$#-n+1" shall be
unset, and the parameter
'#' is updated to reflect the new number of
positional parameters.
The value
n shall be an unsigned decimal integer less than or equal to
the value of the special parameter
'#' . If
