lookup-name [12] (1) Obsolete


        lookup-name [12] ( name : HOLLERITH )
                -> ( Conf-List-Archaic );

This call returns a list of conferences matching the string name. lookup-name has been superseded by lookup-z-name.

Example:

        1 12 3Ha d
        =1 3 { 217 674 1582 } { 0000 1001 0000 }
        2 12 3H:::
        =2 0 * *
        3 76 3Ha d 1 1
        =3 3 { 31HAlkohol- (och annan) drogdebatt 0000 217
               13HAnna Degerman 1001 674
               27HAnarchy discussion (import) 0000 1582 }
        4 76 3H::: 1 1
        =4 0 *

This example shows two attempts to look up a name. The first example looks up a d and finds three matches (the middle, number 674, is a person). The second example looks up ::: which doesn't match any conference (or person). Call number 3 and 4 issues the same lookup using the lookup-z-name call. (The return value for call number 3 has been broken into three lines to fit on the page.)
