Parameter syntax

A parameter consists of the parameter name, followed by the parameter value, which can typically be an expression. Flag parameters have no value. Parameters are separated by commas. A parameter may only appear once in the same parameter list.

Examples:

police (rate 100kbps, burst 2*1kB, mtu $mtu);

class (rate 1Mbps,prio 1,isolated); /* CBQ */

In the following cases, the parameter value takes a special form:

priomap:

the value is a space-separated list of forward-referenced variables, e.g. priomap $a $b $c

pragma:

the value is a space-separated list of strings, see section 3.11
