"\n"
"All function parameters support simple wildcards (`*` and `?`).\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.enclosedByArea('<zone_name>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if all of `A` lies within the given zone's outline.\n"
"\n"
"> NB: this is potentially a more expensive call than `intersectsArea()`.\n"
"Use `intersectsArea()` where possible.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.existsOnLayer('<layer_name>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` exists on the given layer.  The layer name can be\n"
"either the name assigned in Board Setup > Board Editor Layers or\n"
"the canonical name (ie: `F.Cu`).\n"
"\n"
"> NB: this returns true if `A` is on the given layer, independently\n"
"of whether or not the rule is being evaluated for that layer.\n"
"For the latter use a `(layer \"layer_name\")` clause in the rule.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.fromTo('x', 'y')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if the object exists on the copper path between the given\n"
"pads. `x` and `y` are the full names of pads in the design, such as\n"
"`R1-Pad1`.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.getField('<field_name>')\n"
"```\n"
"> The value of the given field. Only footprints have fields, so a field is only returned if\n"
"`A` is a footprint.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.hasComponentClass('<component_class_name>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if the set of component classes assigned to `A` contains the named\n"
"component class.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.hasNetclass('<netclass_name>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` has had the given netclass assigned to it, either by an explicit netclass label\n"
"or through a pattern match assignment.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.inDiffPair('<net_name>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` has a net that is part of the specified differential pair.\n"
"`<net_name>` is the base name of the differential pair.\n"
"For example, `inDiffPair('/CLK')` matches items in the `/CLK_P` and `/CLK_N` nets.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.inNetChain('<chain_name>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A`'s net is a member of the named chain.  `<chain_name>`\n"
"accepts wildcards: `inNetChain('DDR_*')` matches every chain whose\n"
"name starts with `DDR_`.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.hasNetChain()\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A`'s net belongs to any chain.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.inNetChainClass('<class_name>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A`'s net belongs to a chain whose assigned chain class\n"
"matches `<class_name>`.  Class assignments live in the project's\n"
"`net_chain_classes` map.  `<class_name>` accepts wildcards.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.intersectsArea('<zone_name>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if any part of `A` lies within the given zone's outline.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.intersectsCourtyard('<footprint_identifier>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if any part of `A` lies within the given footprint's principal courtyard.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.intersectsFrontCourtyard('<footprint_identifier>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if any part of `A` lies within the given footprint's front courtyard.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.intersectsBackCourtyard('<footprint_identifier>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if any part of `A` lies within the given footprint's back courtyard.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"> The `footprint_identifier` listed above can be one of the following:\n"
"\n"
"> 1. A reference designator, possibly containing wildcards `*` and `?`\n"
"> 2. A footprint library identifier such as `LibName:FootprintName`. In this case,\n"
"   the library identifier must contain the `:` character to separate the library\n"
"   name from the footprint name, and either name may contain wildcards.\n"
"> 3. A component class, in the form `${Class:ClassName}`.  The keyword `Class` is not\n"
"   case-sensitive, but component class names are case-sensitive.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    AB.isCoupledDiffPair()\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` and `B` are members of the same diff pair.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.isMicroVia()\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` is a microvia.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.isBlindVia()\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` is a blind via.\n"
"\n"

"    A.isBuriedVia()\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` is a buried via.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.isPlated()\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` has a hole which is plated.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.memberOfGroup('<group_name>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` is a member of the given group\n"
"The name can contain wildcards.\n"
"Includes nested membership.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.memberOfFootprint('<footprint_identifier>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` is a member of a given footprint\n"
"(for example, a pad or graphic shape defined inside that footprint).\n"
"The various ways of specifying `footprint_identifier` are described above.\n"
"\n"
"\n"
"```\n"
"    A.memberOfSheet('<sheet_path>')\n"
"```\n"
"> True if `A` is a member of the given schematic sheet.\n"
"The sheet path can contain wildcards.\n"
