[Q] what is mean posting-from-work-p in gnus-posting-style

[황병희]

Hellow, i am seeing Gnus manual [1]. At there is odd statement.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs lisp
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'((".*"
(signature-file "~/.signature"))
((posting-from-work-p) ;; A user defined function
(signature-file "~/.work-signature"))))
#+END_SRC

What does (posting-from-work-p) means?
Actually i did fail to read and understand...

Sincerely,

It is a fictitious (example) function that could be able to know if you
are at your work desk or at any other place, in order to select the
appropriate posting style.

Actually, it is an example of the degree of customization that you can
reach with posting styles, since they can also evaluate custom elisp
functions that can output different things even after configuration
time.

better still, you rewrite gnus in elisp++ which you have to invent
yourself, of course.
