+= Alternation Syntax
+
+Alternation syntax similar to that used in Unix shells may also be
+used:
+
+`%{%{Foo}:-bar}`
+
+This code returns the value of `%{Foo}`, if it has a value.
+Otherwise, it returns a literal string bar.
+
+`%{%{Foo}:-%{Bar}}`
+
+This code returns the value of `%{Foo}`, if it has a value.
+Otherwise, it returns the expansion of `%{Bar}`.
+
+These conditional expansions can be nested to almost any depth, such
+as with `%{%{One}:-%{%{Two}:-%{Three}}}`.
+
+.Examples
+`%{%{Stripped-User-Name}:-%{User-Name}}` +
+`%{%{Framed-IP-Address}:-<none>}`

+= Attribute References
+
+Attributes in a list may be referenced via one of the following two
+syntaxes:
+
+`%{Attribute-Name}` +
+`%{<list>:Attribute-Name}`
+
+The `<list>:` prefix is optional. If given, it must be a valid
+reference to an xref:list.adoc[attribute list].
+
+If the `<list>:` prefix is omitted, then the `request` list is
+assumed.
+
+For EAP methods with tunneled authentication sessions (i.e. PEAP and
+EAP-TTLS), the inner tunnel session can refer to a list for the outer
+session by prefixing the list name with `outer.` ; for example,
+`outer.request`.
+
+When a reference is encountered, the given list is examined for an
+attribute of the given name. If found, the variable reference in the
+string is replaced with the value of that attribute. Otherwise, the
+reference is replacedd with an empty string.
+
+.Examples
+
+`%{User-Name}` +
+`%{request.User-Name} # same as above` +
+`%{reply.User-Name}` +
+`%{outer.request.User-Name} # from inside of a TTLS/PEAP tunnel`
+
+Examples of using references inside of a string:
+
+`"Hello %{User-Name}"` +
+`"You, %{User-Name} are not allowed to use %{NAS-IP-Address}"`
+
+== Additional Variations
+
+`%{Attribute-Name[#]}`::
+Returns an integer containing the number of named attributes
+
+`%{Attribute-Name[0]}`::
+
+When an attribute appears multiple times in a list, this syntax allows
+you to address the attributes as with array entries. `[0]` refers to
+the first attributes, `[1]` refers to the second attribute, etc.
+
+`%{Attribute-Name[*]}`::
+
+Returns a comma-separated string containing all values for the named
+attributes.

+= Built-In Expansions
+
+In addition to storing attribute references, the server has a number
+of built-in expansions. These expansions act largely as functions
+which operate on inputs, and produce an output.
+
+
+
+== Attribute Manipulation
+
+=== %{length: ... }
+
+The `length` expansion returns the size of the input as an integer.
+When the input is a string, then the output is identical to the
+`strlen` expansion.
+
+When the input is an attribute reference, the output is the size of
+the attributes data as encoded "on the wire".
+
+.Return: _size_
+
+.Determining the length of fixed and variable length attributes
+====
+[source,unlang]
+----
+update control {
+ &Tmp-String-0 := "Caipirinha"
+ &Framed-IP-Address := 192.0.2.1
+}
+
+update reply {
+ &Reply-Message := "The length of %{control:Tmp-String-0} is %{length:&control:Tmp-String-0}"
+ &Reply-Message += "The length of %{control:Framed-IP-Address} is %{length:&control:Framed-IP-Address}"
+}
+----
+
+.Output
+....
+The length of Caipirinha is 10
+The length of 192.168.0.2 is 4
+....
+====
+
+`length` is built in to the server core.
+
+
+
+=== %{integer:<&ref>}
+
+Print the value of the attribute an integer.
+
+In normal operation, `integer` attributes are printed using the name
+given by a `VALUE` statement in a dictionary. Similarly, date
+attributes are printed as dates, i.e., "January 1 2010.
+
+The `integer` expansion applies only to attributes which can be
+converted to an integer. For all other inputs, it returns `0`.
+
+A common usage is to find the difference between two dates.
+
+For example, if a request contains `Service-Type = Login-User`, the
+expansion of `%{integer:&Service-Type}` will yield `1`, which is the
+value associated with the `Login-User` name. Using
+`%{integer:&Event-Timestamp}` will return the event timestamp as an
+unsigned 32-bit number.
+
+.Return: _string_
+
+.Determining the integer value of an enumerated attribute
+====
+[source,unlang]
+----
+update {
+ &control:Service-Type := Login-User
+}
+update reply {
+ &Reply-Message := "The value of Service-Type is %{integer:&control:Service-Type}"
+}
+----
+
+.Output
+
+```
+The value of Service-Type is 1
+```
+====
+
+`integer` is built in to the server core.
+
+
+
+=== %{rand:<number>}
+
+Generate random number from `0` to `<number>-1`.
+
+.Return: _uint64_
+
+.Generating a random number between 0 and 511
+====
+[source,unlang]
+----
+update reply {
+ &Reply-Message := "The random number is %{rand:512}"
+}
+----
+
+.Output
+
+```
+The random number is 347
+```
+====
+
+`rand` is provided by the `rlm_expr` module.
+
+
+
+=== %{tag:<attribute ref>}
+
+CAUTION: This expansion is deprecated and will likely be removed.
+
+Returns a list of tags for any attributes found using ``<attribute ref>``.
+
+.Return: _int8_
+
+.Determining the tag value of the second instance of the `radius.Tunnel-Server-Endpoint` attribute
+====
+[source,unlang]
+----
+update request {
+ &Tunnel-Server-Endpoint := '192.0.1.1'
+ &Tunnel-Server-Endpoint:1 := '192.0.5.2'
+ &Tunnel-Server-Endpoint:1 += '192.0.3.8'
+ &Tunnel-Server-Endpoint:2 := '192.0.2.1'
+ &Tunnel-Server-Endpoint:2 += '192.0.3.4'
+}
+
+update reply {
+ &Reply-Message := "The tag value of the second instance of Tunnel-Server-Enpoint is %{request:Tunnel-Server-Endpoint[1]}"
+}
+----
+
+.Output
+
+```
+The tag value of the second instance of Tunnel-Server-Enpoint is 192.0.5.2
+```
+====
+
+`tag` is built in to the server core.
+
+
+
+=== %{string:<data>}
+
+Convert input to a string (if possible). For _octets_ type attributes, this
+means interpreting the data as a UTF8 string, and inserting octal escape
+sequences where appropriate.
+
+For other types, this means printing the value in its _presentation_ format,
+i.e. dotted quads for IPv4 addresses, link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601[ISO 8601]
+time for date types, enumeration values for attributes such as `radius.Service-Type` etc.
+
+.Return: _string_
+
+.String interpolation using the raw octets value of Tmp-Octets-0, and the stringified version

+=== +%{nexttime:<time>}+
+
+Calculate number of seconds until next n hour(`s`), day(`s`), week(`s`), year(`s`).
+
+.Return: _string_
+
+.Example:
+
+With the current time at 16:18, `%{nexttime:1h}` will expand to `2520`.
+
+[source,unlang]
+----
+update reply {
+ &Reply-Message := "You should wait for %{nexttime:1h}s"
+}
+----
+
+.Output
+
+```
+You should wait for 2520s
+```
+
+`nexttime` is provided by the `rlm_expr` module.
+
+
+
+=== +%{Packet-Type}+
+
+The packet type (`Access-Request`, etc.)
+
+
+
+=== +%{Packet-Src-IP-Address} and %{Packet-Src-IPv6-Address}+
+
+The source IPv4 or IPv6 address of the packet. See also the expansions
+`%{client:ipaddr}` and `%{client:ipv6addr}`. The two expansions
+should be identical, unless `%{client:ipaddr}` contains a DNS hostname.
+
+
+
+=== +%{Packet-Dst-IP-Address} and %{Packet-Dst-IPv6-Address}+
+
+The destination IPv4 or IPv6 address of the packet. See also the
+expansions `%{listen:ipaddr}` and `%{listen:ipv6addr}`. If the socket
+is listening on a "wildcard" address, then these two expansions will be
+different, as follows: the `%{listen:ipaddr}` will be the wildcard
+address and `%{Packet-DST-IP-Address}` will be the unicast address to
+which the packet was sent.
+
+
+
+=== +%{Packet-Src-Port} and %{Packet-Dst-Port}+
+
+The source/destination ports associated with the packet.
+
+.Return: _string_.
+
+.Example
+
+[source,unlang]
+----
+update control {
+ &Tmp-String-0 := "user@example.com"
+}
+
+if (&control:Tmp-String-0 =~ /^(?<login>(.*))@(?<domain>(.*))$/) {
+ update reply {
+ &Reply-Message := "The %{control:Tmp-String-0} { login=%{regex:login}, domain=%{regex:domain} }"
+ }
+}
+----
+
+.Output
+
+```
+The user@example.com { login=user, domain=example.com }

+= Single Letter Expansions
+
+The following are single letter expansions. These expansions do not
+use the typical `%{...}` format. Instead, they are short-cuts for
+simple, common cases.
+
+== Miscellaneous
+
+`%%`::
+
+Returns `%`.
+
+
+== Current Time
+
+`%c`::
+
+The current Unix epoch time in seconds. This is an unsigned decimal number.
+It should be used with time-based calculations.
+
+`%C`::
+
+The microsecond component of the current epoch time. This is an unsigned
+decimal number. It should be used with time-based calculations.
+
+
+== Request Time
+
+`%l`::
+
+The Unix timestamp of when the request was received. This is an unsigned
+decimal number. It should be used with time-based calculations.
+
+`%Y`::
+
+Four-digit year when the request was received.
+
+`%m`::
+
+Numeric month when the request was received.
+
+`%d`::
+
+Numeric day of the month when the request was received.
+
+`%H`::
+
+Hour of the day when the request was received.
+
+`%G`::
+
+Minute component of the time when the request was received.
+
+`%e`::
+
+Second component of the time when the request was received.
+
+`%M`::
+
+Microsecond component of the time when the request was received.
+
+`%D`::
+
+Request date in the format `YYYYMMDD`.
+
+`%S`::
+
+Request timestamp in SQL format, `YYYY-mmm-ddd HH:MM:SS`.
+
+`%t`::
+
+Request timestamp in _ctime_ format, `Www Mmm dd HH:MM:SS YYYY`.
+
+`%T`::
+
+Request timestamp in ISO format, `YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS.000`.

+= String Expansion
+
+String expansion is a feature that allows strings to dynamically
+define their value at run time. For historical reasons, these string
+expansions are called "xlats".
+
+String expansion is performed via the following syntax:
+
+`%{...}`
+
+Where the `%{` signals the start of a dynamic expansion, and `}`
+signals the end of the dynamic expansion. The contents of the
+expansion can be many things:
+
+.String Expansions
+[options="header"]
+|=====
+| Keyword | Description
+| xref:xlat/attribute.adoc[attributes] | Expand the value of a named attribute.
+| xref:xlat/character.adoc[single character] | Single character expansions.
+| xref:xlat/module.adoc[modules] | Pass a string to a module such as `sql`.
+| xref:xlat/alternation.adoc[condition] | Conditionally expand a string.
+| xref:xlat/builtin.adoc[built-in expansions] | Such as string length, tolower, etc...
+|=====
+
+This feature is used to create policies which refer to concepts rather
+than to specific values. For example, a policy can be created that
+refers to the User-Name in a request, via:
+
+`%{User-Name}`
+
+This string expansion is done only for double-quoted strings and for
+the back-tick operator.
+
+== Caveats
+
+Unlike other languages, there is no way to define new variables. All
+of the string expansions must refer to attributes that already exist,
+or to modules that will return a string value.
+
+== Character Escaping
+
+Some characters need to be escaped within a dynamically expanded
+string `%{...}`. The `%` character is used for variable expansion, so a
+literal `%` character can be created by using `%%`.
+
+Other than within a dynamically expanded string, very little
+character escaping is needed. The rules of the enclosing string context
+determine whether or not a space or " character needs to be escaped.
+
+.Example
+
+`Reply-Message := "%{User-Name} with a literal %%`

+= Module References
+
+Individual modules may be referenced via the following syntax:
+
+`%{module:string}`
+
+These references are allowed only by a small number of modules that
+usually perform database lookups. The module name is the actual name of
+the module, as described earlier. The string portion is specific to each
+module and is not documented here. It is, however, usually dynamically
+expanded to allow for additional flexibility.
+
+.Examples
+
+`%{sql:SELECT name FROM mytable WHERE username = %{User-Name}}`
