Field Detail

name

public String name
The name of the function: a local name in the case of functions in the standard library, or a name with the conventional prefix "saxon:" in the case of Saxon extension functions


implementationClass

public Class implementationClass
The class containing the implementation of this function (always a subclass of SystemFunction)


opcode

public int opcode
Some classes support more than one function. In these cases the particular function is defined by an integer opcode, whose meaning is local to the implementation class.


minArguments

public int minArguments
The minimum number of arguments required


maxArguments

public int maxArguments
The maximum number of arguments permitted


itemType

public ItemType itemType
The item type of the result of the function


cardinality

public int cardinality
The cardinality of the result of the function


applicability

public int applicability
Flags indicating which host languages the function is applicable to


argumentTypes

public SequenceType[] argumentTypes
An array holding the types of the arguments to the function


resultIfEmpty

public Value[] resultIfEmpty
An array holding, for each declared argument, the value that is to be returned if an empty sequence as the value of this argument allows the result to be determined irrespective of the values of the other arguments; null if there is no such calculation possible
