SaxonProcessorMBS.clarkNameToEQName(name as String) as String

The expanded name, as a string using the notation defined by the EQName production in XPath 3.0. If the name is in a namespace, the resulting string takes the form Q{uri}local. Otherwise, the value is the local part of the name.

Name: The URI in Clark notation: {uri}local if the name is in a namespace, or simply local if not.

Returns the expanded name, as a string using the notation defined by the EQName production in XPath 3.0.

Break

This can be any function defined in XPath 3.1 functions and operators, including functions in the math, map, and array namespaces. It can also be a Saxon extension function, provided a licensed Processor is used.

processor: The Saxon Processor object required to get the system function.
name: the name of the function
arity: the number of arguments in the function

Returns the requested function, or null if there is no such function. Note that some functions (those with particular context dependencies) may be unsuitable for dynamic calling.
