/* wantread -- attempt to open file for input
*
* Usage: i = wantread (path,file,fullname,prompt);
* int i;
* char *path,*file,*fullname,*prompt;
*
* Wantread will search through the specified path for the
* specified file, attempting to open it for input if it is
* found. If no such file is found, the user is given
* an opportunity to enter a new file name (after the prompt is
* printed). The new file will then be sought using the same
* path.
* If the path is the null string, the file will be searched for
* with no prefix. If the file name is null, the user will be
* prompted for a file name immediately. The user can always
* abort wantread by typing just a carriage return to the prompt.
* Wantread will put the name of the successfully opened file into
* the "fullname" string (which therefore must be long enough to hold a
* complete file name), and return its file descriptor; if no file
* is successfully found, -1 is returned.
*
* HISTORY
* $Log: wantread.c,v $
* Revision 1.2 90/12/11 18:00:52 mja
* Add copyright/disclaimer for distribution.
*
* 30-Apr-85 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
* Adapted for 4.2 BSD UNIX: New openp routine to conform to new open call.
*
* 21-Oct-81 Fil Alleva (faa) at Carnegie-Mellon University
* Fixed bug which caused an infinite loop when getstr() got
* an EOT error and returned NULL. The error return was ignored
* and the value of "answer" was not changed which caused the loop.
*
* 28-Aug-80 Mike Accetta (mja) at Carnegie-Mellon University
* Fixed bug which used the "file" string to hold name typed at terminal
* even though "file" may have been passed as a constant.
*
* 20-Nov-79 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
* Rewritten for VAX.
