intaf_access (char *path, char *name, char *type, int mode)
DESCRIPTION
af_histories returns a list of source history names from the
directory pointed to by path, that match the given
pattern. Histories in a directory are represented by at least
one version. The pattern must be ed(1) patterns, processable by
re_comp(3) and re_exec(3). The resulting list of af_histories resides
in allocated memory. Use free(3) to free the memory for further
allocation. af_histories returns an empty list (not a NULL pointer !),
when no histories are found.
af_cachenames does the same as af_histories but on derived
object caches.
af_access determines the existence of an object history.
If any ASO (any version) with the given path, name
and type attributes exists, af_access returns zero, otherwise -1.
The mode argument can either be
AF_CLASS_SOURCE
indicating that only source objects shall be searched or
AF_CLASS_DERIVED
which means that only the derived object cache shall be searched for
existence of a matching ASO.
