Also, I thought I was crazy but am I right in that there are a **** ton of functions, specifically ZO_ functions that have no documentation? I'm finding threads and a bunch of code using or referencing these functions but I have no idea how people are figuring out how to use them.

As Ayantir said those don't exist. I think what you wanted was:
Lua Code:
CHAT_SYSTEM.primaryContainer.currentBuffer:Clear()
CHAT_SYSTEM.primaryContainer.currentBuffer:GetMaxHistoryLines()
As for the functions, like they said we find them by reading the games lua files or using /zgoo.
This addon has a feature to search the games global table for global functions. I use it to find functions I might want to use or to just look up a function when I forget its name. As for figuring out how to use the function, once I find a function that sounds like what I want then I go to the lua files and search for it to see how they use it, what the parameters are, and what values it returns if any.
