atNetworkPath, atLocalPath - network path handling

char* atNetworkPath (Af_key *aso);
char* atLocalPath (char *networkPath);
atNetworkPath returns a network wide unique pathname for
aso. The
pathname has the following structure
<hostname>:<canonical_pathname>@<version>.
Hostname is the name of the host controlling the device, where
aso is
stored. the canonical pathname is the real pathname (without symbolic links),
where the object is located on that host. The version number, including the
introducing at-sign (@) is optional. For busy versions, it may be missing or
the string busy
atLocalPath maps a network path name to a local path name. When the host
information in the network path denotes a remote host, atLocalPath looks up
/etc/mtab for a mapping of the network canonical pathname to a local path. The
resulting pathname is a local pathname in bound notation
<pathname>[version]
with the version number added in brackets. It may be converted into an ASO
descriptor by calling atBindVersion (manual page
atbind(3)).
Both functions return the resulting string in static memory. The result will be
overwritten on a subsequent call. On failure, a null pointer is returned.
