tic is "turtle in comments", a markup convention ^#3> that indicates the line of a file contains turtle. Run any file with that markup through tic.sh or edu.rpi.tw.data.rdf.tic.TurtleInComments, and you'll get the Turtle that was embedded in the comments. For example, since tic.sh is annotated with tic, it can be run through itself to get a description about it:

#/bin/bash
#
#3> @prefix rdfs:    <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
#3> @prefix dcterms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/> .
#3> @prefix doap:    <http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap#> .
#3>
#3> <> a doap:Project;
#3>   dcterms:description "Script to extract Turtle from comments.";
#3>   rdfs:seeAlso <https://github.com/timrdf/csv2rdf4lod-automation/wiki/tic-turtle-in-comments>;
#3> .

if [[ "$1" == "--help" || "$1" == "-h" ]]; then
...
...

Uses a grep "^#3>" | sed 's/^#3>//;s/^ //'-like operation to produce Turtle to describe itself:

bash-3.2$ tic.sh `which tic.sh`
@base </Users/tlebo/Desktop/csv2rdf4lod/bin/util/tic.sh> .
