I am trying to make sense of the raw logs of an iperf3 UDP bidIrectional test.

Here are the iperf3 client logs:

iperf Done.

In the per second datapoints, for example,

[  5][TX-C]   0.00-1.00   sec  1.04 GBytes  8.93 Gbits/sec            124718  
[  7][RX-C]   0.00-1.00   sec   586 MBytes  4.92 Gbits/sec  0.017 ms  51093/119778 (43%) 

Is TX-C referring to bandwidth for data sent by the client?

Similarly, in the server logs, as shown below,

[  5][RX-S]   0.00-1.00   sec   586 MBytes  4.92 Gbits/sec  0.019 ms  53669/122373 (44%)  
[  6][TX-S]   0.00-1.00   sec  1.02 GBytes  8.72 Gbits/sec            121799  

is TX-S and RX-S referring to server receive and send bandwidth?
