Functions: argument shelf types
Prerequisite Concepts     Related Syntax  

The shelf type defines what kind of shelf or expression can be passed as that argument. Shelves can only be passed as read-only or modifiable arguments. Expressions can only be passed as value arguments, or as items of a remainder argument.

Stream arguments that have a class of value or remainder must be passed a valid string expression. That means that if an item on a stream shelf is being passed as a value argument or as an item of a remainder argument, then the stream must be attached to a buffer or a referent, and must be closed.
