How to use this node? It doesn't even have any port?

https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/cop/output.html [www.sidefx.com]

This COP passes its inputs out of the parent Subnetwork. That is, the i-th input to this node becomes the i-th output of the parent subnetwork. Signature of this node is controlled by the Outputs multiparm of the parent network; this node is also present inside of HDAs, where its signature relfects that of the containing operator.

I still don't get it. There is no Outputs multiparm on the parent network...

Ok here is what I found:

There are two ways to output multi-outputs.

1. The Output is for Subnetworks in the COPs.
2. NULLS provide outputs
3. Set either output parm or output multiple.
You can see that with the "Single Output" off you get 2 Prims overlapping each other.
Otherwise you can toggle the Output with the slider.
