A variable holds a value used either by APM or by a build step pattern to specify a changeable aspect of your project, such as a filename or directory path.
A variable prefixed with $ is read-only,
a variable prefixed with $$ can affect the actions of
APM. A variable containing a $, such as path$Debug,
has a standard purpose defined by APM.
You can set variables for any level of the project hierarchy.
The standard variables are:
$$DepthOfDotAPJBelowProjectRootAffects how the location of a file is resolved in the directory structure of the project.
$$ProjectNameWhen you create a project, this variable is set
to "" and the name of the project is contained
in $projectname. When you change the value of
this variable, $projectname is set to the new
value.
$projectnameYou cannot change the value of this variable directly.
It contains the name of the project as assigned when you created
the project or whenever it is saved. This value is also changed
if the variable $$ProjectName is set to a non-empty
value.
path$variantThe path specifying the directory of a variant, created as a sub-directory below the directory that holds the project file. You can change the value of this variable if necessary.
config$toolThis variable stores an encoding of the configuration of a tool, or the command-line arguments for a tool that is not configurable.
User-defined variables cannot begin with $
