What is the purpose of css @ selector?

Question

Anyone know what the '@ page' selector in this example is for?

@media print {
  @    page {
        margin: 2cm .5cm;
    }

I believe its for print media, you can specify size: A4 and so on — Adam 'Sacki' Sackfield, Nov 07 '13 at 15:13

I think, this actually should be @page (without the white-space).

MDN on @page

The @page CSS at-rule is used to modify some CSS properties when printing a document. You can't change all CSS properties with @page. You can only change the margins, orphans, widows, and page breaks of the document. Attempts to change any other CSS properties will be ignored.

Pages can be styled using @page rules, which by default apply to every page in the document. It is also possible to apply style to specific pages using page selectors.
