To answer any future questions along these same lines, I suggest that you start by simply searching the doc and search the github repo for the source code for the relevant keywords. That will give you the definitive answers quickly. If something is missing, feel free to propose that it be added (if you really need it). And feel free to confirm here if a quick search doesn't give you a solid answer.
