The function returns true if and only if the function call fn:doc($uri)
would return a document node.
fn:doc-available
( $uri
as xs:string?
xs:boolean
If $uri
is an empty sequence, this function returns false
.
If a call on fn:doc($uri)
would return a document node, this function
returns true
.
A dynamic error is raised if $uri
is not
a valid URI according to the rules applied by the implementation of
fn:doc
.
In all other cases this function returns false
. This
includes the case where an invalid URI is supplied, and also the case where
a valid relative URI reference is supplied, and cannot be resolved,
for example because the static base URI is absent.
If this function returns true
, then calling fn:doc($uri)
within the same must return a document node. However,
if nondeterministic processing has been selected for the fn:doc
function,
this guarantee is lost.
