In various web pages, I see references to jq functions with a slash and a number following them. For example:
walk/1
I found the above notation used on a stackoverflow page.
I could not find in the jq Manual page a definition as to what this notation means. I'm guessing it might indicate that the walk
function that takes 1 argument. If so, I wonder why a more meaningful notation isn't used such as is used with signatures in C++, Java, and other languages:
<function>(type1, type2, ..., typeN)
Can anyone confirm what the notation <function>/<number>
means? Are other variants used?
