R help - Sep 2020 - dataRetrieval: whatNWISdata() return value type

The dataRetrieval package PDF has a list of values returned by
whatNWISdata(). One value returned when I run this function is not on the
list and my searches of USGS web sites doesn't find it. The value's name
is
"ts_id". A pointer to where that's defined is needed.

Regards,

Rich

   identifies a series of data for one parameter at one location at a
   continuous-recording data site. The ts_id is used by the database for
   selecting data for download or display as a list, table, or graph and may
   change over time as new database tables are created.

Bill,

I found many lists of parameters none included this one. Thank you again.
