Why sometimes a function is passed with a * sign before it
From the notebook of ch 7: (page 242 in the book)
def get_dls(bs, size):
dblock = DataBlock(blocks=(ImageBlock, CategoryBlock),
get_items=get_image_files,
get_y=parent_label,
item_tfms=Resize(460),
batch_tfms[*aug_transforms(size=size, min_scale=0.75),
Normalize.from_stats(*imagenet_stats)])
return dblock.dataloaders(path, bs=bs)
what is the meaning/role of the “*” before the aug_transforms and image_stats ?
(it reminds me pointers in C but not clear if/how they are used here)
