    The semantic properties of the behavior of a call.

    Index
    Closes: "closes-handle"

    ends what an opener started: a graphics device, a connection, a sink. Narrower than SemanticCallTag.Graphics.

    CommandLine: "command-line"

    hands back what the program was invoked with, as commandArgs and the option parsers built on it do

    Database: "database"

    talks to a database

    Deprecated: "deprecated"

    marked for removal, with a better alternative available, like dplyr::funs

    Eval: "eval"

    dynamically executes R code or returns the value of dynamically computed identifiers, like eval, do.call, or get

    File: "file"

    touches the file system

    Glob: "glob"

    yields the paths it matches at run time rather than one it was handed (list.files, Sys.glob); empty is an answer

    Graphics: "draws-graphics"

    draws on a graphics device

    Html: "html"

    produces raw HTML or JavaScript, such as shiny::HTML

    JavaScript: "javascript"

    produces raw JavaScript code, such as shinyjs::runjs

    Narrows: "narrows-args"

    the result is bounded no matter what flows in: a count, an index, a logical, or one of the values of the argument marked ArgProp.Bounds. So nothing an argument carries reaches the result, which is what lets the input-sources query stop tracing at length(x) or match.arg(arg, choices).

    Network: "network"

    always reaches the network, like curl::curl_download. Calls that only do so for some arguments, like read.csv of a URL, are left to the network-functions rule, which decides that per call site.

    Opens: "opens-handle"

    hands back a handle the program is expected to close again, like file or DBI::dbConnect

    Prints: "prints"

    may emit to standard output, like print or a cat without a file, and follows a sink when one is active

    Process: "process"

    runs a system command

    Random: "random"

    draws from the random number generator, or sets its state (stated instead of NonDet)

    Reads: "reads"

    reads the resource its Resource arguments name

    Statistics: "statistics"

    performs a statistical test, so its result is the test statistic a reader is meant to see (t.test, anova)

    TempFile: "temp-file"

    produces a temporary path; on its own this touches no file system, so a call that also does states File too

    User: "asks-user"

    asks the user, like readline or a file chooser

    Writes: "writes"

    writes the resource its Resource arguments name
