__TOC__
The available Debugger Client functions are described in individual sections that follow. The function names are specified without regard for case. 

Client function names begin with two ampersand (&&) characters; those characters must be followed by one alphabetic character, which may be followed by one or more alphanumeric characters and underscores. 

Client function arguments ''all'' have the same form: that is, they may be single- or double-quoted strings, numeric constants, or, as of Client Build 58, they may also be [[working_with_macro_variables.html|macro variables.]] As of Build 69, they may be invocations of other &&functions.

To see in a message box or the console a value returned by a function, you can assign it to a macro variable, then issue the [[varDump command|varDump]] command; or use the function with the [[echo command|echo]] command.

Macro only functions 

It may be that a &&function is '''''macro only''''': it may be used only in a [[using_debugger_macros.html|macro.]] The description of such a &&function includes a ''Scope'' section that reminds of this restriction.

String functions 

The &&functions include a group of string manipulation functions, all of which follow these rules: 

*The first character in a string occupies position 1, the second occupies 2, and so on.
*If a function searches for and returns the position of a desired string within a target, it returns 0 if the searched-for string is not found.
*If a function takes a position or length as an argument, and the argument value that is passed is non-numeric, an error is issued and the command that references the function is aborted.
*If a number is passed for a parameter that is a string, the number is converted to a string. For example, 1234 is treated like '1234'.
*Character matching is case sensitive.

*Like all &&functions, arguments may be single- or double-quoted strings, numeric constants, or &variables.
