Did you RTFM under 7.6 Function definitions? If so how did it fail to help?

"If the form ``|*identifier|'' is present, it is initialized to a tuple 
receiving any excess positional parameters, defaulting to the empty tuple.

If the form ``|**identifier|'' is present, it is initialized to a new 
dictionary receiving any excess keyword arguments."
