file name when searching. If SUFFIXES is nil, it is equivalent to '(\"\").
Use '(\"/\") to disable PATH search, but still try the suffixes in SUFFIXES.
If non-nil, PREDICATE is used instead of `file-readable-p'.
+
+This function will normally skip directories, so if you want it to find
+directories, make sure the PREDICATE function returns `dir-ok' for them.
+
PREDICATE can also be an integer to pass to the `access' system call,
in which case file-name handlers are ignored. This usage is deprecated.
-
For compatibility, PREDICATE can also be one of the symbols
`executable', `readable', `writable', or `exists', or a list of
one or more of those symbols."
