Default what the heck are "dry onions"?

I'm trying my luck with onions this year. I bought a bag of "red" onion
bulbs. The planting instructions give me three choices: red onions ,
green table onions, and dry onions. I think I understand the first two
choices, but I don't know what the third choice gets me. The directions
say to 'harvest when fully matured and air dry.' I'm having trouble
imagining an air dried onion.

A "dry" onion is the type of onion that you buy in the grocery

store-----It is matured and allowed to develop a dry skin that
protects it during storage.
