Nginx.conf - @ (at symbol)

Server NGINX
1

Sorry, not a ruby / mongrel question, but this forum looks active.

Can anyone tell me the functionality of the @ symbol in the following
statement?

location @joomla {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
}

(from http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxJoomla)

Thanks

Here is what Google Translate says based on original
documentation:

Prefix “@” specifies the named location. This location is not used
during normal processing of requests, and is intended only to be
redirected to his requests.

It doesn’t looks terribly wrong for me (though probably needs some
grammar/wording fixes). Feel free to update wiki
(Module ngx_http_core_module).
