Anybody know the extent of what a shut-down means ?

I know it’s not a total stoppage of all government, because when they talked about it in Obama’s admin they specified things like forced closure of National Parks ; and possibly late payments of stuff like social security disability.

But does this mean that Congress goes on mandatory recess to avoid spending tax dollars or that Trump could basically shutter the FBI for a period?
