UnknownClass
Defined in: packages/candid/src/idl.ts:358
Represents an IDL Unknown, a placeholder type for deserialization only.
When decoding a value as Unknown, all fields will be retained but the names are only available in
hashed form.
A deserialized unknown will offer it’s actual type by calling the type() function.
Unknown cannot be serialized and attempting to do so will throw an error.
