Documentation about a jQuery function return
<p>I've been looking at the API documentation for jQuery functions and one thing I cannot find is for any arbitrary function, what exactly does the function return. For example:</p>

<pre><code>$(this).appendTo($someElement);
</code></pre>

<p>What does the appendTo function return. I looked at the documentation and it just says it returns a jQuery object, but it doesn't say what object in particular.</p>

<p>I wanna know because I want to be able to chain my statements without worrying about on what elements exactly I'm chaining on. Thanks</p>
