# Reference

This section is the material you look one thing up in: an exit code you just
saw, a permission you need to grant, a variable you have to set, a word used
elsewhere in the documentation without explanation. Nothing here is meant to be
read from the top. It is for administrators, support staff and developers with
a specific question.

<!-- TODO: write this page against the reference template.

Sections:

- Scope: what is in this section and what is in the API reference instead.
- The lists, one line each, with what each one covers.
- Which product version each list is generated from, and how to tell whether
  it matches yours.
- Where the source of truth is for each list, so a reader can check it.
-->
