Is Type=Left the same as type=outer in Splunk?

 

If so why do they list it as three options?

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.4/SearchReference/Join

type Syntax: type=inner | outer | left Description: Indicates the type of join to perform. The difference between an inner and a left (or outer) join is how the events are treated in the main search that do not match any of the events in the subsearch. In both inner and left joins, events that match are joined. The results of an inner join do not include events from the main search that have no matches in the subsearch. The results of a left (or outer) join includes all of the events in the main search and only those values in the subsearch have matching field values. Default: inner
