Can someone tell me the meaning of True in output when I use FunctionDomain please? I guess that the meaning of True is: the whole domain (R in the example below). Moreover I'd like to read documentation where I can find an explanation.

FunctionDomain[x, {x}]
(* Out: True *)

Thank you for your willingness.

FunctionDomain yields a predicate that's True when the variable is in the domain, so if the domain is unrestricted, the result is simply True.

    $\begingroup$ The default domain is Reals so True means that Element[x, Reals] evaluates to True $\endgroup$
