Difference between functions.php and customizer.php

    I’m writing my first theme.

    However, I’m struggling to understand the difference between functions.php and customizer.php from a design perspective – i.e. what kind of functions do I put in each?

    I can’t find much on-line explaining things, and the best I can figure out is that customizer code goes into customizer.php and “helper” functions in functions.php. The problem with this is that it would appear that all theme functions should go into customizer.php, and functions.php used only for those designed to be overridden in child themes.

    Is this so or not?
