- /* fwantread -- attempt to open file for input
- *
- * Usage: f = fwantread (path,file,fullname,prompt);
- * FILE *f;
- * char *path,*file,*fullname,*prompt;
- *
- * Fwantread will search through the specified path for the
- * specified file, attempting to open it for input if it is
- * found. If no such file is found, the user is given
- * an opportunity to enter a new file name (after the prompt is
- * printed). The new file will then be sought using the same
- * path.
- * If the path is the null string, the file will be searched for
- * with no prefix. If the file name is null, the user will be
- * prompted for a file name immediately. The user can always
- * abort fwantread by typing just a carriage return to the prompt.
- * Fwantread will put the name of the successfully opened file into
- * the "fullname" string (which therefore must be long enough to hold a
- * complete file name), and return its file pointer; if no file
- * is successfully found, 0 is returned.
- *
- * HISTORY
- * $Log: fwantread.c,v $
- * Revision 1.2 90/12/11 17:53:24 mja
- * Add copyright/disclaimer for distribution.
- *
- * 21-Oct-81 Fil Alleva (faa) at Carnegie-Mellon University
- * Fixed bug which caused an infinite loop when getstr() got
- * an EOT error and returned NULL. The error return was ignored
- * and the value of "answer" was not changed which caused the loop.
- *
- * 28-Aug-80 Mike Accetta (mja) at Carnegie-Mellon University
- * Fixed bug which used the "file" string to hold name typed at terminal
- * even though "file" may have been passed as a constant.
- *
- * 20-Nov-79 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
- * Created for VAX. Nobody can anticipate if it's a win or a lose
- * to use path-searching; we'll have to see.
