@code{locate-file} tries each possible directory with each of these
suffixes.  If @var{suffixes} is @code{nil}, or @code{("")}, then there
are no suffixes, and @var{filename} is used only as-is.  Typical
values of @var{suffixes} are @code{exec-suffixes} (@pxref{Subprocess
Creation, exec-suffixes}) and @code{load-suffixes} (@pxref{Library

Typical values for @var{path} are @code{exec-path} (@pxref{Subprocess
Creation, exec-path}) when looking for executable programs or
@code{load-path} (@pxref{Library Search, load-path}) when looking for
Lisp files.  If @var{filename} is absolute, @var{path} has no effect,
