  (defun locate-file (filename path &optional suffixes predicate)
    "Search for FILENAME through PATH.
+ If found, return the absolute file name of FILENAME, with its suffixes;
+ otherwise return nil.
+ PATH should be a list of directories to look in, like the lists in
+ `exec-path' or `load-path'.
  If SUFFIXES is non-nil, it should be a list of suffixes to append to
  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'.
  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.
