A function-linking-graph interface is used for constructing shaders that consist of a sequence of precompiled function calls that pass values to each other .

You can use the function-linking-graph (FLG) interface methods to construct shaders that consist of a sequence of precompiled function calls that pass values to each other. You don't need to write HLSL and then call the HLSL compiler. Instead, the shader structure is specified programmatically via a C++ API. FLG nodes represent input and output signatures and invocations of precompiled library functions. The order of registering the function-call nodes defines the sequence of invocations. You must specify the input signature node first and the output signature node last. FLG edges define how values are passed from one node to another. The data types of passed values must be the same; there is no implicit type conversion. Shape and swizzling rules follow the HLSL behavior. Values can only be passed forward in this sequence.

Describes a shader signature.
A shader can take n inputs and can produce m outputs. The order of the input (or output) parameters, their associated types, and any attached semantics make up the shader signature. Each shader has an input and an output signature.
When compiling a shader or an effect, some API calls validate shader signatures That is, they compare the output signature of one shader (like a vertex shader) with the input signature of another shader (like a pixel shader). This ensures that a shader outputs data that is compatible with a downstream shader that is consuming that data. Compatible means that a shader signature is a exact-match subset of the preceding shader stage. Exact match means parameter types and semantics must exactly match. Subset means that a parameter that is not required by a downstream stage, does not need to include that parameter in its shader signature.
