When you mix hydrochloric acid to calcium carbonate and transfer the gas to mix with lime water what is the lime water testing for?

The lime water is testing for the presence of carbon dioxide gas. When hydrochloric acid reacts with calcium carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is produced. This gas is then passed through the lime water, which will turn milky/cloudy if carbon dioxide is present.
