[Typo3] General Approach for Finding Typo3 Classes/Methods

[Nick Weisser]

Dear all,

What is your approach when you are trying to work with Typo3 classes, 
but you don't know where the function (method) you are looking for is 
located and how it is called?

I've just been looking for a method that returns the path to an 
extension folder. I remember that there was a method particularly for 
that purpose, but I can't find it anymore. At least neither in 
class.tslib_pibase.php nor in class.t3lib_div.php.

Any pointer as to what would be the best (general) approach for finding 
specific methods would be really appreciated.
