80 # @path: The path within the object model. There are two forms of supported
81 # paths--absolute and partial paths.
83 # Absolute paths are derived from the root object and can follow child<>
84 # or link<> properties. Since they can follow link<> properties, they
85 # can be arbitrarily long. Absolute paths look like absolute filenames
86 # and are prefixed with a leading slash.
88 # Partial paths look like relative filenames. They do not begin
89 # with a prefix. The matching rules for partial paths are subtle but
90 # designed to make specifying objects easy. At each level of the
91 # composition tree, the partial path is matched as an absolute path.
92 # The first match is not returned. At least two matches are searched
93 # for. A successful result is only returned if only one match is
94 # found. If more than one match is found, a flag is return to
95 # indicate that the match was ambiguous.
