This subclause specifies consteval functions to
query the properties of types ([[meta.unary]](meta.unary "21.3.6 Unary type traits")),
query the relationships between types ([[meta.rel]](meta.rel "21.3.8 Relationships between types")), or
transform types ([[meta.trans]](meta.trans "21.3.9 Transformations between types")),
during program translation[.](#1.sentence-1)

Each consteval function declared in this class
has an associated class template declared elsewhere in this document[.](#1.sentence-2)
