54 active function user name or user project. A search path enclosed
55 in quotes is not expanded when placed in the search list. It is
56 expanded when referenced in your process. This feature allows
57 search paths to be defined that identify the process directory or home
58 directory of any user.

60 If a link target does not exist, the search facility continues to
61 search for a matching entryname.
