    The norm is computed over all gradients together, as if they were

        parameters (Iterable[Tensor] or Tensor): an iterable of Tensors or a
            single Tensor that will have gradients normalized
        max_norm (float or int): max norm of the gradients
        norm_type (float or int): type of the used p-norm. Can be ``'inf'`` for
            infinity norm.
        error_if_nonfinite (bool): if True, an error is thrown if the total
            norm of the gradients from :attr:`parameters` is ``nan``,
            ``inf``, or ``-inf``. Default: False (will switch to True in the future)
