The sentence is, “If the required parameters were not supplied and the
underlying signature implementation can generate the parameter values, it will
be returned. Otherwise, {https://github.com/code null} is returned."
I read "the required parameters were not supplied" as condition A; and "the
underlying signature implementation can generate the parameter values" as
condition B.
