A way of limiting a result of a query to those occurrences which match certain characteristics. You can select the following attributes: NAME, SYMBOL_CLASS, OCCURRENCE, DOMAIN, or FILE_SPEC attributes. In the query language, you use phrases like name=foo, symbol=argument, occurrence=declaration, domain=module_specific, and file="foo.c" to specify which attributes you want. You combine these phrases with AND, OR and NOT operators.
