DESCRIPTION

17       Searches  an  already  loaded datafile for an object with the specified
18       name. In the name you  can  use  `/'  and  `#'  separators  for  nested
19       datafile paths. Example:
20
21          char level_name[10];
22          DATAFILE *dat, *level;
23          ...
24          uszprintf(level_name, sizeof(buffer),
25                    "LEVEL_%02d", level_number);
26          level = find_datafile_object(dat, level_name);
27          if (!level)
28             abort_on_error("That level doesn't exist!");
29

RETURN VALUE

31       Returns  a  pointer  to  a  single  DATAFILE element whose `dat' member
32       points to the object, or NULL if the object could not be found.
