how to locate a function?

how to locate a function?

[Giovanni Ridolfi]

Hello everyone,

Org-mode version 7.9.1 (2eb1456bfd 
GNU Emacs 24.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-06-10 on MARVIN

How can I know if a function is present in org
and if it is loaded?

Rationale: I needed to transpose a table 
(Resolved via the babel/emacs-lisp thanks to Tom Dye!).
I read the worg page:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#transpose-table
but it seems to me that I cannot call the function
org-table-transpose-table-at-point 

the only completion offered by M-x org-tr is: org-tr_anspose-element.

So either I am not able to find the function or the worg documentation is outdated.

Maybe with git will be easy to track the org-table-transpose function...

TIA

Giovanni

C-h a org.*transpose RET

returns

    ┏━━━━
    ┃ Type RET on a type label to view its full documentation.
    ┃ 
    ┃ org-table-transpose-table-at-point M-x ... RET
    ┃   Command: Transpose orgmode table at point and eliminate hlines.
    ┃ org-transpose-element         M-x ... RET
    ┃   Command: Transpose current and previous elements, keeping blank
    ┃            lines between.
    ┗━━━━

on my Org-mode version 7.9.1 (release_7.9.1-169-g2eb145 @
d:/home/sva/src/org-mode/lisp/).

Best regards,

C-h v org-table-transpose-table-at-point RET

will tell you if the function is loaded, marked for autoload but not
loaded yet, or is unknown.

The fact that completion did not show it means that the file containing
it is not loaded and there is no autoload for this function.

Your only recourse then is to load the file by hand

M-x load-library RET org-table RET

assuming that you know which file it is, or use one of the org-table
functions that *are* marked for autoload. You can use completion to find
out those

C-h f org-table-TAB

and then call one. Using the function will autoload it and bring in the
rest of the functions defined in the file with it.
