what is the @number in the dumpbin exports output

Viewed 1250

Using DUMPBIN on a C++ .DLL (or IMPLIB .LIB file) with /EXPORTS or /IMPORTS I see syntax in the output like the following:

Exports

ordinal    name

      _CloseConduit@4
      _ConduitPort
      _GetConduitVersion@4
      _GetStatusConduit@8
      _GetTimeout@0
      _OpenConduit@4

I could not find anywhere a definition of what the @n designation means. I finally have concluded that it's the number of bytes of argument data, but it leaves me a little nervous depending on inference from a few examples. Can anyone point to a reference, or say with any authority, what the number here means?
