Subject: Meaning of "~@" in the format procedure
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2021 17:20:11 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874ka3zco4.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I see that "~@" is used frequently in Guix' codebase in the format
procedure but I don't understand what it does. (info "(guile) Formatted
Output") didn't help much.
For a specific example, look at the package definition of emacs-exwm.
Speaking of that, what does "$@" do after emacs?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs "$@" --eval 'a-sexp'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Thank you.
