For example, resource addressing syntax is also used for 16 the `-target` flag for apply and plan commands. 17 18 Because resource addressing is unified across Terraform, it is documented 19 in a single place rather than duplicating it in multiple locations. You 20 can find the [resource addressing documentation here](/docs/internals/resource-addressing.html).
