## Unexpected start of line. If breaking lines, |/||/&& should be at the end of the previous one.
### Problematic code:
```sh
dmesg
| grep "error"
```
### Correct code:
```sh
dmesg |
grep "error"
```
### Rationale:
ShellCheck has found a line that unexpectedly started with `|`, `||` or `&&`. This usually happens when a line is broken incorrectly.
When breaking around a `|`, `||` or `&&`, there are two options:
* Break the line *after* this token. `dmesg` is a complete command by itself, but `dmesg |` is not so the shell knows to continue on the next line.
* Use a `\` at the end of the previous line to explicitly tell the shell to continue on the next.
### Exceptions:
None. This is a syntax error.
