## "Data" addressing

When an action or configuration file requires a data address, the following syntax options are available:

syntax | description | example
--- | --- | ---
pcb | currently edited board's data | pcb
buffer#IDX | one of the paste buffers; IDX is an integer starting from 0 | buffer#2 use data in paste buffer number 2
buffer | currently active paste buffer | buffer

Note: "data" in this context means a database (that holds layers and global objects like subcircuits and padstacks), not actual data (as in drawing primitives).
