12.PP
13Given the specified external entity name, return the associated filename.
14This provides applications a way to convert various configuration file
15references into filename form.
16.PP
17A null or empty \fIname\fR indicates that the default configuration file should
18be used; which file this references can be overridden with the
19FC_CONFIG_FILE environment variable. Next, if the name starts with \fI~\fR, it
20refers to a file in the current users home directory. Otherwise if the name
21doesn't start with '/', it refers to a file in the default configuration
22directory; the built-in default directory can be overridden with the
23FC_CONFIG_DIR environment variable.
