.SH DESCRIPTION
The routine
.I Auth_GetFirstAuth
returns an XNS Courier connection to a nearby Authentication service, useful
for Authentication remote procedure calls.
.I Xnsbfs 
is used to perform a broadcast for Authentication servers, the results of
which are then used to open a Courier connection. If no Authentication servers
respond to the broadcast or a connection cannot be established to a service,
NULL is returned.
.SH NOTES
A CourierConnection is an anonymous data structure used by the
runtimes.  Users should not dereference pointers to CourierConnection
themselves.
