	<var>MasterNumber</var> is a shared, ReadOnly method which returns the user number of the <b>master thread</b>, the thread that ultimately created and controls the thread from which this method is being invoked.

However, if a parent thread also has a parent thread, the master thread is found by following the chain of parents to the ultimate level, that is, to the parent that does not itself have a parent.		<var>MasterNumber</var> is a shared, ReadOnly method which returns the user number of the <b>master thread</b>, the thread that ultimately created and controls the thread from which this method is being invoked.

	<li>The <var>MasterNumber</var> method has a ~~<var>~~[[List of $functions\|$function]]~~</var>~~ equivalent: <var>[[$DaemonMasterNumber~~\|$daemonMasterNumber~~]]</var>. The $function and method can be used interchangeably, whether the ~~<var>~~daemons~~</var>~~ were created with ~~$<var>~~$COMMxx~~</var>~~ functions or <var>~~[[Daemon class\|~~Daemon]]</var> objects. That is, the method can also be used with ~~<var>~~daemons~~</var>~~ that were created via ~~$<var>~~$COMMxx~~</var>~~, and the $function can also be used with daemons that were created via <var>Daemon</var>objects.		<li>The <var>MasterNumber</var> method has a [[List of $functions\|$function]] equivalent: <var>[[$DaemonMasterNumber]]</var>.
