10.5.1.2 Arguments
An argument is a simple value, i.e. any of the following:
- Numeric value (integer or floating point)
- Boolean value:
true
or false
.
- Quoted string.
- A dot (‘.’)
This represents the cursor value.
- Attribute: ‘.attr’
This is the value of the attribute attr in the current value
(dot).
Attribute references can be nested, as in ‘.Attr.Xattr.Yattr’.
- A variable reference: ‘$var’.
Here, var is the name of the variable defined in the
range
action. See Variables, below.
- Function call in parentheses, for grouping.
