Axis name list

Is there a function or protocol for extracting the axis names on a graph in the way that tracenamelist or wavelist will return trace and wave names? I'm writing a function to add multiple y-axes (and traces) to an existing chart, and for it to be generally applicable, I have to assume that neither the user nor the program will have a list of which axes already exist on the chart. I've done a search in the manual and help files and can't find an obvious built-in function, but I might be overlooking something.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I am so embarrassed.

I searched on "axis names," "axis list", "axisnamelist", and everything else I could think of. I overlooked that (in hindsight, obvious) one.

Thank you for your help.

One more question: any way to isolate dependent variable axes (left, right) from independent variable axes (top, bottom)? I suspect that's too much to ask for after reading the help for AxisList, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Have a look at AxisInfo.
