DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The libAF() functions are provided for programs  that  use

       Closes the specified attribute file.  Gets  the  attribute
       value  matching  name  from  the attribute list. Returns a
       pointer entry to the value of name.  Finds the first entry
       in  an  attribute  file  which  has  the  specified  name.
       Returns a pointer af to an attribute structure.  Gets  the
       next attribute value from the attribute list for the specified
 attribute value. Returns a pointer attr to the character
  string  of  the  first value in the attribute list.
       Gets the next  attribute  from  the  entry  list  for  the
       attribute  file  entry.  Returns a pointer to an attribute
       structure.  Gets the next entry from  an  attribute  file.
       Merges  in  any  default entry that proceeds it. Returns a
       pointer  to  an  attribute  structure.   Gets   the   next
       attribute  value  from  the attribute list for the current
       attribute. Returns a pointer to the next string  value  in
       the  attribute  list.  Opens the specified attribute file.
       Returns a pointer to an attribute file  structure.   Reads
       the  next  entry from an attribute file. Fills in the current
