19 Control arguments:
20 -absolute_pathname, -absp
21    returns absolute pathnames rather than entrynames.

23    will process the targets of links when a starname is specified.
24 -no_chase
25    will not process the targets of links when a starname is specified.
26    (Default)
27 -select_entry_type STR, -slet STR
28    returns entrynames of entries of the specified types.  You need not
29    give the suffix in the starname.  Use the list_entry_types command
30    to obtain a list of valid entry type values. STR is a comma separated
31    list of entry types, such as: mailbox,ms,mcacs.
32 
33 
34 Notes: Only one name per entry is returned; i.e., if an entry has more
35 than one name that matches a starname, only the first match found is
36 returned.
37 
38 Since each entryname (or pathname) returned by entries is enclosed in
39 quotes, the command processor treats each name as a single argument
40 regardless of the presence of special characters in the name.
