      <para>
       An array defining the arguments. A valid key is a <type>string</type>
       containing a variable name and a valid value is either a <link
       linkend="filter.filters">filter type</link>, or an <type>array</type>
       optionally specifying the filter, flags and options. If the value is an
       array, valid keys are <literal>filter</literal> which specifies the
       <link linkend="filter.filters">filter type</link>,
       <literal>flags</literal> which specifies any flags that apply to the
       filter, and <literal>options</literal> which specifies any options that
       apply to the filter. See the example below for a better understanding.
      </para>
      <para>
       This parameter can be also an integer holding a <link
       linkend="filter.constants">filter constant</link>. Then all values in the
       input array are filtered by this filter.

   An array containing the values of the requested variables on success, or &false;

   fails.
