Signature

A signature is a short online description of a Magma intrinsic function or procedure. It states what category of arguments the intrinsic takes, and explains how its output is related to its input. To see the signature of an intrinsic, type print followed by the intrinsic's name and a semicolon:

> print ComplexConjugate;

If you want the signature of an operator, put the operator in single right quote marks:

> print '*';

The intrinsic procedure ListSignatures(C) displays all the signatures for the category C. For example, to list all the signatures involving the rational field, type:

> ListSignatures(FldRat);
