Description
The library_pathname active function should return all pathnames matching the input criteria (or as many as will fit in the af_return string). Right now, it returns only the last match.
lpn bound_probe_..s.archive
ldd>sss>s>bound_probe_.1.s.archive
ldd>sss>s>bound_probe_.2.s.archive.
As an AF, it returns only the last such path.
I deem this an enhancement, because the command is operating as designed. But the enhancement would add utility to this tool. For example:
emacs [lpn bound_probe_..s.archive]
should invoke the editor with both archives, but now only edits the last one.
