[ragel-users] Ragel syntax

Hi,

I am confused with the basic syntax of Ragel. Let's see this machine from
the ragel guide:

%%{ machine foo;
> main :=
> ( ’foo’ | ’bar’ )
> 0 @{ res = 1; };
> }%%
>

As far as I can understand this machine looks for the 'foo' or 'bar'
strings and sets the variable from the host language 'res' to 1 if a match
is found.

What I don't understand is what the 0 and the @{} stands for. What the
exact meaning of these signs and how they are used to run actions in case
of a match?

Thanks
