The term "batch" is from batch processing, meaning "non-interactive execution", though a batch file may not process a batch of multiple data. A batch file may contain any command the interpreter accepts interactively and use constructs that enable conditional branching and looping within the batch file, such as IF, FOR, and GOTO labels.
