+.SH NAME
+XtFindFile \- search for a file using substitutions in the path list
+.SH SYNTAX
+String XtFindFile(\fIpath\fP, \fIsubstitutions\fP, \fInum_substitutions\fP,\
+\fIpredicate\fP)
+.br
+ String \fIpath\fP;
+.br
+ Substitution \fIsubstitutions\fP;
+.br
+ Cardinal \fInum_substitutions\fP;
+.br
+ XtFilePredicate \fIpredicate\fP;
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.IP \fIpath\fP 1i
+Specifies a path of file names, including substitution characters.
+.IP \fIsubstitutions\fP 1i
+Specifies a list of substitutions to make into a path.
+.IP \fInum_substitutions\fP 1i
+Specifies the number of substitutions passed in.
+.IP \fIpredicate\fP 1i
+Specifies a procedure to call to judge a potential file name, or NULL.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fIpath\fP parameter specifies a string that consists of a series of
+potential file names delimited by colons. Within each name, the
+percent character specifies a string substitution selected by the
+following character. The character sequence ``%:'' specifies an
+embedded colon that is not a delimiter; the sequence is replaced by a
+single colon. The character sequence ``%%'' specifies a percent
+character that does not introduce a substitution; the sequence is
+replaced by a single percent character. If a percent character is
+followed by any other character,
+.PN XtFindFile
+looks through the
+specified \fIsubstitutions\fP for that character in the \fImatch\fP field and if
+found replaces the percent and match characters with the string in the
+corresponding \fIsubstitution\fP field. A \fIsubstitution\fP field entry of NULL
+is equivalent to a pointer to an empty string. If the operating
+system does not interpret multiple embedded name separators in the
+path (i.e., ``/'' in POSIX) the same way as a single separator,
+.PN XtFindFile
+will collapse multiple separators into a single one after performing
+all string substitutions. Except for collapsing embedded separators,
+the contents of the string substitutions are not interpreted by
+.PN XtFindFile
+and may therefore contain any operating-system-dependent
+characters, including additional name separators. Each resulting
+string is passed to the predicate procedure until a string is found for
+which the procedure returns
+.PN True ;
+this string is the return value for
+.PN XtFindFile .
+If no string yields a
+.PN True
+return from the predicate,
+.PN XtFindFile
+returns NULL.
+.LP
+If the \fIpredicate\fP parameter is NULL, an internal procedure that checks
+if the file exists, is readable, and is not a directory will be used.
+.LP
+It is the responsibility of the caller to free the returned string using
+.PN XtFree
+when it is no longer needed.
