What are the star/asterisks in a parameter in Matplotlib?

I'm trying to see all options of parameters in a Matplotlib method, for example, Axes.set_xticks(ticks, *, minor=False). What exactly is * and where can I view the options? Thanks!

The * delimits positional from keyword-only arguments.

This means that you cannot hand over a value for minor by position but always have to use the minor=<VALUE> syntax in the call.

The only positional argument of this method is ticks, a list of floats.
