This template metafunction has a member `Type` computed such that, for a specified `t_TYPE` parameter, a function with argument of `t_TYPE` can be called efficiently from another function (e.g., a wrapper) by declaring the corresponding parameter of the other wrapper as 'typename ForwardingType<t_TYPE>::Type'. The `Type` member is computed to minimize the number of expensive copies while forwarding the arguments as faithfully as possible.

| Name| Description
| xref:BloombergLP/bslmf/ForwardingType-00/TargetType.adoc[`TargetType`] 
| The closest type used to "reconstitute" `t_TYPE` from `ForwardingType<t_TYPE>::Type`. This type may differ from `t_TYPE` through the addition of a reference.
| xref:BloombergLP/bslmf/ForwardingType-00/Type.adoc[`Type`] 
| The type that should be used to forward `t_TYPE` through a chain of function calls.
