There are different names in z as well as other utility locales.

You can use fif to look for definitions in scripts and there are often some
documentations.

Some are in system and some are in addons.

Often you can look for a name of a util and put =: at the end to look for
the definition of something.

Then there most likely other utils of interest in the same script.

Documentation is often best close to the source.

You can also use fif to see how utils are used.

The fif util can be one of your best friends when you know how to use it.

Documentation will easily get outdated between releases.

When cleanup discovers that the same utility name is defined in different
ways and some get orphaned they may become misleading in future releases.

Sometimes addons may use the same name to do different things for some time.

Documentation very often lags behind and becomes wrong.

Your key to J and its utils may well be to learn to use fif.
