What does it mean for a moment generating function to exist in a neighborhood of 0?

It is my understanding that a moment generating function (MGF) uniquely determines a distribution with bounded or unbounded support only if the "MGF exists in a neighborhood of zero." But what does it mean exactly for an MGF to exist in a neighborhood of zero?
