Where does the revAvailableHandlers function come from?

put the revAvailableHandlers of this stack
will list the stack script handlers.

put the revAvailableHandlers of cd btn 1
will list the script handlers of cd btn 1.

It doesn't show up in the dictionary.

Is this function in one of the rev libraries?
