What do angle brackets "" mean in disassembler output?

What do angle brackets "<>" mean in disassembler output?
I often see these brackets in the output of objdump -D exec in the att syntax.
For example, je 400658 <register_tm_clones+0x38>
the content in them is clear to me. Are these brackets and the content in them treated as a comment? Or how? Thanks for the correct answer.

It's just a hint where the pointer will go if the given condition is met.
Treat it like a comment.

What's the difference? Well, look in the machine code, if there is an absolute address, then consider them as a comment, and if on the contrary it is relative, and usually it is, then the “comment”, on the contrary, will be absolute.
