Predicate Language
==================

The predicate language allows the user to define simple predicates
(Boolean-valued functions) that Dune can evaluate. Here is a semiformal
specification of the predicate language:

.. productionlist::
   pred : (and `pred` `pred`)
        : (or `pred` `pred`)
        : (not `pred`)
        : :standard
        : `element`

The exact meaning of ``:standard`` and the nature of :token:`element` depend on
the context.
For example, in the case of the :doc:`/reference/dune/subdir`, an
:token:`element` corresponds to file glob patterns.
Another example is the user action :doc:`actions/with-accepted-exit-codes`,
where an :token:`element` corresponds to a literal integer.
