I'm translating a csh script to bash an came across a line that looks like



@ lines = `grep num_lines ../config.txt | awk '{print("%d",int($2))}' `


What does the '@' do here?
I found some documentation stating that csh uses '@' for expressions. However, this looks like a normal variable assignment to me. When I run the grep and awk part of the code in bash the output is an integer with a preceding '%d', e.g. '%d 12045'.
