Usage

If you do not specify any parameters, rs_helpfunc lists all functions defined in the Replication Server.
If you supply a replication_definition name, only the functions defined for that replication definition are listed. If you also supply a function_name string, rs_helpfunc displays functions whose names match function_name.
rs_helpfunc notifies you if it detects duplicate user-defined functions that may interfere with asynchronous transactions.
