+\arguments{
+\item{...}{A \code{data.frame} or a named set of Arrays or vectors. If given a
+mixture of data.frames and named vectors, the inputs will be autospliced together
+(see examples). Alternatively, you can provide a single Arrow IPC
+\code{InputStream}, \code{Message}, \code{Buffer}, or R \code{raw} object containing a \code{Buffer}.}
+
+\item{schema}{a \link{Schema}, or \code{NULL} (the default) to infer the schema from
+the data in \code{...}. When providing an Arrow IPC buffer, \code{schema} is required.}

+\description{
+A Table is a sequence of \link[=ChunkedArray]{chunked arrays}. They
+have a similar interface to \link[=RecordBatch]{record batches}, but they can be
+composed from multiple record batches or chunked arrays.
+}
+\section{S3 Methods and Usage}{
+
+Tables are data-frame-like, and many methods you expect to work on
+a \code{data.frame} are implemented for \code{Table}. This includes \code{[}, \code{[[},
+\code{$}, \code{names}, \code{dim}, \code{nrow}, \code{ncol}, \code{head}, and \code{tail}. You can also pull
+the data from an Arrow table into R with \code{as.data.frame()}. See the
+examples.
+
+A caveat about the \code{$} method: because \code{Table} is an \code{R6} object,
+\code{$} is also used to access the object's methods (see below). Methods take
+precedence over the table's columns. So, \code{tab$Slice} would return the
+"Slice" method function even if there were a column in the table called
+"Slice".
+}
+
+\section{R6 Methods}{
+
+In addition to the more R-friendly S3 methods, a \code{Table} object has
+the following R6 methods that map onto the underlying C++ methods:
+\itemize{
+\item \verb{$column(i)}: Extract a \code{ChunkedArray} by integer position from the table
+\item \verb{$ColumnNames()}: Get all column names (called by \code{names(tab)})
+\item \verb{$RenameColumns(value)}: Set all column names (called by \code{names(tab) <- value})
+\item \verb{$GetColumnByName(name)}: Extract a \code{ChunkedArray} by string name
+\item \verb{$field(i)}: Extract a \code{Field} from the table schema by integer position
+\item \verb{$SelectColumns(indices)}: Return new \code{Table} with specified columns, expressed as 0-based integers.
+\item \verb{$Slice(offset, length = NULL)}: Create a zero-copy view starting at the
+indicated integer offset and going for the given length, or to the end
+of the table if \code{NULL}, the default.
+\item \verb{$Take(i)}: return an \code{Table} with rows at positions given by
+integers \code{i}. If \code{i} is an Arrow \code{Array} or \code{ChunkedArray}, it will be
+coerced to an R vector before taking.
+\item \verb{$Filter(i, keep_na = TRUE)}: return an \code{Table} with rows at positions where logical
+vector or Arrow boolean-type \verb{(Chunked)Array} \code{i} is \code{TRUE}.
+\item \verb{$SortIndices(names, descending = FALSE)}: return an \code{Array} of integer row
+positions that can be used to rearrange the \code{Table} in ascending or descending
+order by the first named column, breaking ties with further named columns.
+\code{descending} can be a logical vector of length one or of the same length as
+\code{names}.
+\item \verb{$serialize(output_stream, ...)}: Write the table to the given
+\link{OutputStream}
+\item \verb{$cast(target_schema, safe = TRUE, options = cast_options(safe))}: Alter
+the schema of the record batch.
+}
+
+There are also some active bindings:
+\itemize{
+\item \verb{$num_columns}
+\item \verb{$num_rows}
+\item \verb{$schema}
+\item \verb{$metadata}: Returns the key-value metadata of the \code{Schema} as a named list.
+Modify or replace by assigning in (\code{tab$metadata <- new_metadata}).
+All list elements are coerced to string. See \code{schema()} for more information.
+\item \verb{$columns}: Returns a list of \code{ChunkedArray}s
+}
