C# methods with no body

c#

I'm new to C# and have come across stuff like this in the codebase I'll be working on (these specific examples are from Microsoft.Extensions.CommandLineUtils).

public CommandArgument Argument(string name, string description, Action<CommandArgument> configuration, bool multipleValues = false);
public CommandArgument Argument(string name, string description, bool multipleValues = false);

I really just want to know what this construct is called and what's actually going on when you call these functions? I'm guessing they are proxies with some compile time magic but not sure.
