function-arguments

Returns information about the arguments accepted by a function.  This function returns three values:

• required-number is the number of required arguments accepted by the function.
• rest-boolean indicates whether the function accepts a variable number of arguments.
• kwd-sequence indicates whether the function accepts keyword arguments.  If the value is #f then the function does not accept keyword arguments.  Otherwise, the function does accept keyword arguments, and the value is either a collection of the keywords that are permissible for any call to the function, or the symbol #”all” if all keywords are permitted by the function.

Note that particular calls to a generic function may accept additional keywords not included in the third value returned by function-arguments, by virtue of their being recognized by applicable methods.
