+\& #include <xpa.h>
+\&

+\& char *template, char type,
+\& char ***classes, char ***names,
+\& char ***methods, char ***infos)
+.Ve
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\s-1XPA\s0 routines act on a class:name identifier in such a way
+that all access points that match the identifier are processed. It is
+sometimes desirable to choose specific access points from the
+candidates that match the
+template. In order to do this, the
+XPANSLookup routine can be called to return a list of matches, so that
+specific class:name instances can then be fed to \fIXPAGet()\fR, \fIXPASet()\fR, etc.
+.PP
+.Vb 4
+\& The first argument is an optional XPA struct. If non\-NULL, the
+\&existing name server connection associated with the specified xpa is
+\&used to query the xpans name server for matching templates. Otherwise,
+\&a new (temporary) connection is established with the name server.
+.Ve
+.PP
+The second argument to XPANSLookup is the class:name
+template
+to match.
+.PP
+The third argument for \fIXPANSLookup()\fR is the type of access and can be
+any combination of:
+.PP
+.Vb 5
+\& type explanation
+\& \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+\& g xpaget calls can be made on this access point
+\& s xpaset calls can be made on this access point
+\& i xpainfo calls can be made on this access point
+.Ve
+.PP
+The call typically specifies only one of these at a time.
+.PP
+The final arguments are pointers to arrays that will be filled
+in and returned by the name server. The name server will allocate and
+return arrays filled with the classes, names, and methods of all \s-1XPA\s0
+access points that match the template
+and have the specified type. Also returned are info strings, which
+generally are used internally by the client routines. These can be
+ignored (but the strings must be freed). The function returns the
+number of matches. The returned value can be used to loop through the
+matches:
+.PP
+\&\fBExample:\fR
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& #include <xpa.h>
+\&
+\& char **classes;
+\& char **names;
+\& char **methods;
+\& char **infos;
+\& int i, n;
+\& n = XPANSLookup(NULL, "foo*", "g", &classes, &names, &methods, &infos);
+\& for(i=0; i<n; i++){
+\& [more specific checks on possibilities ...]
+\& [perhaps a call to XPAGet for those that pass, etc. ...]
+\& /* don\*(Aqt forget to free alloc\*(Aqed strings when done */
+\& free(classes[i]);
+\& free(names[i]);
+\& free(methods[i]);
+\& free(infos[i]);
+\& }
+\& /* free up arrays alloc\*(Aqed by names server */
+\& if( n > 0 ){
+\& free(classes);
+\& free(names);
+\& free(methods);
+\& free(infos);
+\& }
+.Ve
+.PP
+The specified
+template
+also can be a host:port specification, for example:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& myhost:12345
+.Ve
+.PP
+In this case, no connection is made to the name server. Instead, the
+call will return one entry such that the ip array contains the ip for
+the specified host and the port array contains the port. The class
+and name entries are set to the character \*(L"?\*(R", since the class and
+name of the access point are not known.
