+\arguments{
+\item{function_name}{string Arrow compute function name}
+
+\item{...}{Function arguments, which may include \code{Array}, \code{ChunkedArray}, \code{Scalar},
+\code{RecordBatch}, or \code{Table}.}

+\item{args}{list arguments as an alternative to specifying in \code{...}}

+An \code{Array}, \code{ChunkedArray}, \code{Scalar}, \code{RecordBatch}, or \code{Table}, whatever the compute function results in.
+}
+\description{
+This function provides a lower-level API for calling Arrow functions by their
+string function name. You won't use it directly for most applications.
+Many Arrow compute functions are mapped to R methods,
+and in a \code{dplyr} evaluation context, \link[=list_compute_functions]{all Arrow functions}
+are callable with an \code{arrow_} prefix.
+}
+\details{
+When passing indices in \code{...}, \code{args}, or \code{options}, express them as
+0-based integers (consistent with C++).
