During parsing, pacman will define the $repo variable to the name of the current section. This is often utilized in files specified using the Include directive so all repositories can use the same mirrorfile. pacman also defines the $arch variable to the first (or only) value of the Architecture option, so the same mirrorfile can even be used for different architectures.
