How to check if a function (e.g. server-running-p) is available under Emacs?

Question

I\'m trying to check if server-running-p is available in my .emacs file before calling it. I already have the following:

(if (not (server-runnin

A simpler way is to use "require" to make sure the server code is loaded. Here's what I use:

(require 'server)
(unless (server-running-p)
    (server-start))
