26.1. Variable, Node and Alias Names

Variable, node and alias names can contain none of !()[]=\"' nor space nor tab. Moreover, all non-printable (i.e. with ASCII value < 32) are also invalid. Symbol # is valid, but, however, it cannot be contained at the beginning of the name, because whole line would be considered a comment.

Path is formed of none of more node names and one variable or alias name, all of them separated by / from each other.
