lq-text: LQT_FindFile

API char * LQT_FindFile (db, Name) t_LQTEXT_Database *db; char *Name;

Purpose

Returns a pointer to a full pathname, given a filename as stored in the lq-text File index. The current database DocPath is searched, and if that fails, an attempt is made to find the file with .bz2 appended, then with .gz, then with .Z appended.

The returned string points to a static buffer, and should not be freed. The buffer is overwritten on successive calls to LQT_Find­File(). This is not thread-safe.

Bugs

Does not understand the archive name notation, archive(filename). Not thread safe.
