Django: in template tag what does cl mean?

In django admin change list template there is a block:

  {% block result_list %}
      {% if action_form and actions_on_top and cl.show_admin_actions %}{% admin_actions %}{% endif %}
      {% result_list cl %}
      {% if action_form and actions_on_bottom and cl.show_admin_actions %}{% admin_actions %}{% endif %}
  {% endblock %}

I would like to know what does {% result_list cl %} do, i.e. what does cl mean? I couldn't find it in docs.

Its a context variable name being used in an inclusion tag

result_list's source code comment states that it "Displays the headers and data list together".

cl isn't a general thing; it's the name of a variable, so it wouldn't be in the documentation. In this particular case, it's a variable holding a Changelist object, but only because that is what is passed in to the template context.

It's a Changelist: the list of your model instances. Django uses it to handle the filtering and pagination tasks.
