Square tube identification help

Anyone know what the “c” channels in the corners of this aluminum square tube are called? What is their purpose? I don’t believe it is structural, but perhaps it is a channel for screws to go into in order to attach something along the cross section?

I think you’re correct about them being for screws.

Possibly to attach an endcap.

Are you looking for some? This is a slightly specialized shape, as many extrusions are.

Thanks everyone for your responses!

“screw ports” seems to be what these are called.

I’m not looking for any now, mostly asked for educational purposes. I just had a piece with these and wasn’t entirely sure about them.
