- * pathof - find path of a component needed by a program
- *
- * char *pathof(component)
- * char *component;
- *
- * Where component is of the form "<prog>.<subprog>" or "<prog>.<subdir>"
- *
- * Examples of component are:
- * "sup.libpath"
- * "csh.profiledir"
- * "login.mkplan"
- *
- * If component is not found, pathof() returns NULL. If component
- * is found, a copy of the path for that component is salloc()ed and
- * a pointer to the copy is returned.
