Specifies the entry name. Specifies the name of an attribute value. Specifies the attribute value in the attribute list. Specifies the attribute filename.

Returns a pointer af to an attribute structure. Gets the next attribute value from the at- tribute 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. Re- turns 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.
