Is ski pole length the entire length of the pole or up to basket?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm just wondering when brands say their poles are for example 120cm, is that the total length of the pole or just from the top down to the basket?
Thanks

It’s meant to be the tip to handle top length. Whether everyone measures their poles the same way I don’t know though. Shouldn’t be more than a cm or two off if the do.
