  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.
