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

28 Notes:  Only one name per entry is returned; i.e., if a segment,
29 directory, or link has more than one name that matches star_name, only
30 the first match found is returned.

32 Since each entryname (or pathname) returned by nonmsfs is enclosed in
33 quotes, the command processor treats each name as a single argument
34 regardless of the presence of special characters in the name.
