This class implements functions that are supplied as standard with SAXON, but which are not defined in the XSLT or XPath specifications.

To invoke these functions, use a function call of the form prefix:name() where name is the method name, and prefix maps to the URI http://saxon.sf.net/

- Method Detail
  - pauseTracing
```
public static void pauseTracing(XPathContext c)

    Parameters:
    
    c - the XPath dynamic context
  - resumeTracing
```
public static void resumeTracing(XPathContext c)
```

    Parameters:
    
    c - the XPath dynamic context
  - systemId
```
public static One<StringValue> systemId(XPathContext c)
                                 throws XPathException
```
    Return the system identifier of the context node
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - the XPath dynamic context
    
    Returns:
    
    the system ID
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException
  - lineNumber
```
public static One<IntegerValue> lineNumber(XPathContext c)
```
    Return the line number of the context node.
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - the XPath dynamic context
    
    Returns:
    
    the line number, or -1 if not available
  - lineNumber
```
public static One<IntegerValue> lineNumber(ZeroOrOne<NodeInfo> node)
```
    Return the line number of the specified node.
    
    Parameters:
    
    node - the node whose line number is required
    
    Returns:
    
    the line number of the node. This is only available if line numbering was switched on.
  - columnNumber
```
public static One<IntegerValue> columnNumber(XPathContext c)
```
    Return the column number of the context node. This is only available if line numbering has been enabled for the containing tree
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - the XPath dynamic context
    
    Returns:
    
    the column number, or -1 if not available
  - columnNumber
```
public static One<IntegerValue> columnNumber(ZeroOrOne<NodeInfo> node)
```
    Return the column number of the specified node.
    
    Parameters:
    
    node - the node whose column number is required
    
    Returns:
    
    the column number of the node. This is only available if line numbering was switched on.
  - discardDocument
```
public static ZeroOrOne<NodeInfo> discardDocument(XPathContext context,
                                                  ZeroOrOne<NodeInfo> document)
```
    Remove a document from the document pool. The effect is that the document becomes eligible for garbage collection, allowing memory to be released when processing of the document has finished. The downside is that a subsequent call on document() with the same URI causes the document to be reloaded and reparsed, and the new nodes will have different node identity from the old.
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - the evaluation context (supplied implicitly by the call mechanism)
    
    document - the document to be released from the document pool
    
    Returns:
    
    the document that was released. This allows a call such as select="saxon:discard-document(document('a.xml'))"
  - hasSameNodes
```
public static One<BooleanValue> hasSameNodes(ZeroOrMore<NodeInfo> p1,
                                             ZeroOrMore<NodeInfo> p2)
                                      throws XPathException
```
    Determine whether two node sequence contain the same sequences of nodes, in the same order, compared by identity
    
    Parameters:
    
    p1 - The first node-set. The iterator must be correctly ordered.
    
    p2 - The second node-set. The iterator must be correctly ordered.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if p1 and p2 contain the same set of nodes
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException

    Parameters:
    
    node - the node whose path is required
    
    Returns:
    
    a path expression giving a path from the root of the tree to the specified node
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException

    Parameters:
    
    context - the XPath dynamic context
    
    value - the node or atomic value whose type annotation is required

                                                  One<StringValue> name)

                                                   One<StringValue> region)
```
    Determine whether a given date/time is in summer time (daylight savings time) in a given region. This relies on the Java database of changes to daylight savings time. Since summer time changes are set by civil authorities the information is not necessarily reliable when applied to dates in the future.
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - used to get the implicit timezone in the event that the supplied date/time has no timezone
    
    date - the date/time in question. This should preferably include a timezone offset. If it does not, the implicit timezone from the dynamic context is used.
    
    region - either the two-letter ISO country code, or an Olsen timezone name such as "America/New_York" or "Europe/Lisbon". If the country code denotes a country spanning several timezones, such as the US, then one of them is chosen arbitrarily.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the date/time is known to be in summer time in the relevant country; false if it is known not to be in summer time; null if an empty sequence was supplied for the dateTime argument, or if no information is available.

                                                         One<StringValue> region)
```
    Adjust a given date/time to a specified civil time zone, taking account of summer time (daylight savings time) changes, as obtained from the Java database of changes to daylight savings time. Since summer time changes are set by civil authorities the information is not necessarily reliable when applied to dates in the future.
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - used to get the implicit timezone in the event that the supplied date/time has no timezone
    
    date - the date/time in question. This should preferably include a timezone offset. If it does not, the implicit timezone from the dynamic context is used.
    
    region - An Olsen timezone name such as "America/New_York" or "Europe/Lisbon".
    
    Returns:
    
    The date/time adjusted to the timezone offset applicable to the place denoted by the Olsen timezone name. For example:
    
    adjust-to-civil-time(xs:dateTime('2008-01-10T12:00:00Z', 'America/New_York') returns 2008-01-10T07:00:00-05:00
    
    adjust-to-civil-time(xs:dateTime('2008-07-10T12:00:00Z', 'America/New_York') returns 2008-07-10T08:00:00-04:00
  - currentModeName
```
public static ZeroOrOne<QNameValue> currentModeName(XPathContext context)
```
    Get the current mode. Returns the name of the current mode if there is one. Returns null (delivered as an empty sequence) if there is no current mode or if the current mode is the unnamed (default) mode.
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - the dynamic context
    
    Returns:
    
    the current mode name, or empty if there is none
  - isDefaulted
```
public static ZeroOrOne<BooleanValue> isDefaulted(ZeroOrOne<NodeInfo> arg)
```
    Ask whether an attribute node exists as a result of the expansion of default and fixed values defined in a schema. Note that this property will only be set if both the configuration properties FeatureKeys.EXPAND_ATTRIBUTE_DEFAULTS and FeatureKeys.MARK_DEFAULTED_ATTRIBUTES are set. The property is currently maintained only for attribute nodes in a TinyTree that results from schema validation, or where DTD-defined defaults are notified by the XML parser.
    
    Parameters:
    
    arg - the attribute node in question, or null
    
    Returns:
    
    null if the argument is null; true if the node is an attribute node that exists as a result of the expansion of default and fixed values defined in a schema; provided that configuration options are defined to maintain this property. In all other cases, false.
