+# KI_MAPNAME -- Map a logical node name to a literal node name.  Logical
+# node names may be defined in the environment as aliases for "hardcoded"
+# hosts-file node names.  To distinguish logical node names from other
+# environment variables the value string must end in the node delimiter
+# character "!".   For example, "set alpha = foo.bar.edu!" defines logical
+# node alpha to be the same as foo.tar.edu.  The "!" suffix also allows
+# the logical node name to be used in file references, e.g. "alpha!pathname".
+# 
+# If the input name is a logical node name the translated value is returned
+# in newname and the number of characters output is returned as the function
+# value (as for envfind).  If the input name is not a logical node name
+# zero is returned as the function value.
+#
+# It might make sense to allow multiple indirection on name translations,
+# but this is not currently supported.
