-
-These functions have meaning only under Hurd. They are needed to get port names that are used in native Hurd API (the RPC calls to servers). The `.defs` and `.h` files can be found in
-
-`/include/hurd` when all development files are installed (Debian package `hurd-dev`.) Note that `.defs` are not included in C programs - they are used to produce `.h` files.

The file lookup uses the current root directory, but uses STARTDIR as the "working directory" for file relative names.

- <dd>Lookup FILE_NAME and return the node opened with FLAGS &amp;amp; MODE (see <tt>hurd_file_name_lookup</tt> for details), but a simple file name (without any directory prefixes) will be consecutively prefixed with the pathnames in the <tt>:</tt> separated list PATH until one succeeds in a successful lookup. If none succeed, then the first error that wasn't ENOENT is returned, or ENOENT if no other errors were returned. If PREFIXED_NAME is non-NULL, then if the result is looked up directly, *PREFIXED_NAME is set to NULL, and if it is looked up using a prefix from PATH, *PREFIXED_NAME is set to malloc'd storage containing the prefixed name.</dd>

If successful, stores in *NAME a pointer into FILE where the name within directory begins and returns a port to the directory; otherwise sets <tt>errno</tt> and returns <tt>MACH_PORT_NULL</tt>.</dd>
