On this page
Since 20.5

Promotes a port based on the whether the port is an input or output port of the node. The port syntax port[in] promotes the input port to the graph’s parms node, and port[out] promotes the output port to the graph’s output node.

The graph ports of this node are in-place ports, which means that the graph is updated without creating a copy.
