 ## bboxClip
 
-Takes a [Feature][1] and a bbox and clips the feature to the bbox using
-[lineclip][2].
-May result in degenerate edges when clipping Polygons.
+Takes a [Feature][1], [Geometry][2] or [FeatureCollection][3] and a bbox and clips the object to the bbox using
+[lineclip][4].
+If a Point or LineString geometry is entirely outside the bbox, a [MultiPoint][5] or [MultiLineString][6] with empty `coordinates` array is returned.
+LineString and Polygon geometries may also become MultiLineString or [MultiPolygon][7] if the clipping process cuts them into several pieces.
 
 ### Parameters
 
-*   `feature` **[Feature][1]<([LineString][3] | [MultiLineString][4] | [Polygon][5] | [MultiPolygon][6])>** feature to clip to the bbox
-*   `bbox` **[BBox][7]** extent in \[minX, minY, maxX, maxY] order
