What's the name of the characteristic that defines if a function argument is IN, OUT, OPTional, etc?
I'm modeling FFI formal arguments such as the ones that appear in a declaration like this one:
BOOL WINAPI CreatePipe(
_Out_ PHANDLE hReadPipe,
_Out_ PHANDLE hWritePipe,
_In_opt_ LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpPipeAttributes,
_In_ DWORD nSize
);
In principle an Argument is an object with a type, a name and this other characteristic of being out, in, etc. My question is: what's the name of this feature? direction, passing-mode, what?
