31 /* FUNCTION
32 Finds a local variable structure.
34 INPUTS
35 name -- the name of the variable you wish to find. Note that
36 variable names follow the same syntax and semantics
37 as filesystem names.
38 type -- The type of variable to be found (see <dos/var.h>).
39 Actually, only the lower 8 bits of "type" are used
40 by FindVar().
42 RESULT
43 A pointer to the LocalVar structure for that variable if it was
44 found. If the variable wasn't found, or was of the wrong type,
45 NULL will be returned.

56 INTERNALS
57 For every local variable, a structure of type LocalVar exists:
58 struct LocalVar {
59 struct Node lv_Node;
60 UWORD lv_Flags;
61 UBYTE *lv_Value;
62 ULONG lv_Len;
65 lv_Node.ln_Type
66 holds the variable type, either LV_VAR for regular local environment
67 variables or LV_ALIAS for shell aliases. dos/var.h also defines
68 LVF_IGNORE (for private usage by the shell)
70 lv_Node.ln_Name
71 holds the variable name (NUL terminated string)
73 lv_Flags
74 stores GVF_BINARY_VAR and GVF_DONT_NULL_TERM if given as flags to
75 SetVar(). It is only used by GetVar().
77 lv_Value
78 holds the variable's value
80 lv_Len
81 is the length of lv_Value
