This part of the function signature is exactly what the function returns.<\/p>\n

(*PutRecordOutput, error)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
So this one will return a pointer to a PutRecordOutput<\/code> plus an error<\/code> (which by convention is returned as nil<\/code> if no error occurred).<\/p>\n
If you look at the source code for the function, return<\/code> statements will have to be consistent with that, so that can also help you understand how the return values are built.<\/p>\n
But, please note that in some cases you could have named output arguments, like:<\/p>\n
(output *PutRecordOutput, err error)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
In that case, output<\/code> and err<\/code> will be valid local variables inside the function, and you might see a plain return statement like this:<\/p>\n
return\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Just keep in mind that one would implicitly be like doing:<\/p>\n
return output, err\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
