DESCRIPTION
  The libAF functions are provided for programs that use attribute files.
  These functions perform the following:

  AFclose() Closes the specified attribute file.

  AFgetatr()
	    Gets the attribute value matching name from the attribute list.
	    Returns a pointer entry to the value of name.

  AFgetent()
	    Finds the first entry in an attribute file which has the
	    specified name.  Returns a pointer af to an attribute structure.

  AFgetval()
	    Gets the next attribute value from the attribute list for the
	    specified attribute value.	Returns a pointer attr to the
	    character string of the first value in the attribute list.

  AFnxtatr()
	    Gets the next attribute from the entry list for the attribute
	    file entry.	 Returns a pointer to an attribute structure.

  AFnxtent()
	    Gets the next entry from an attribute file.	 Merges in any
	    default entry that proceeds it.  Returns a pointer to an
	    attribute structure.

  AFnxtval()
	    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.

  AFopen()  Opens the specified attribute file.	 Returns a pointer to an
	    attribute file structure.

  AFread()  Reads the next entry from an attribute file.  Fills in the
