A parameter
identifies something passed from
one part of a computer system to another. In this regard
parameter
is fairly generic, but it may have a more
constrained semantic in some contexts (e.g., in a
paramdef
).
In a document that describes more than one kind of parameter—for
example, parameters to functions and commands—the class
attribute can be used to distinguish
between them, if necessary.
