<p>BIRD contains a rather simple programming language. (No, it can't yet read mail :-). There are
two objects in this language: filters and functions. Filters are called by BIRD core when a route is
being passed between protocola and routing tables. Filter language contains control structures such

as if's and switches, but it allows no loops. Filters are
