10Quoted from ``:help script-variable`` in the Vim documentation::
11
12			    *script-variable* *s:var*
13    In a Vim script variables starting with "s:" can be used. They
14    cannot be accessed from outside of the scripts, thus are local to
15    the script.

17Exuberant Ctags records the prefix `s:` as part of a script-local
18variable's name. However, it is omitted from function names. As
19requested in issue #852 on GitHub, Universal Ctags now also includes
20the prefix in script-local function names.
