Newbish question: what does each TB screw do?

I searched on this, maybe not hard enough. I'm wondering which one of the 3 TB screws is the one that you use to adjust the idle, then what do the other 2 do? There are two screws towards the front, one on top of the other, then one farther back. Thanks!

There should be one that's covered by a rubber plug. That's the one I use.

His rubber plug might have fallen off. The car is 6 years old...

True, when he puts a pic up it'll be easier to point out which is which. Kinda hard to explain it using words.

Neither of those, there should be one on the very top of the TB in a tunnel of sorts.

look up top and behind there is a hole that has some depth (like a tunnel of sorts is right) There will be a screw inside of this and you can turn the idle up and down. Biss screw.
