#### Abstract
       Begin a forward segment search in a DLA file.

#### Brief_I/O
       Variable  I/O  Description
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       handle     I   Handle of open DLA file.
       descr      O   Descriptor of first segment in DLA file.
       found      O   Flag indicating whether a segment was found.
#### Detailed_Input
       handle      is the DAS integer handle associated with the file to be
                   searched. This handle is used to identify the file in
                   subsequent calls to other DLA or DAS routines.
#### Detailed_Output
       descr       is the descriptor of the first DLA segment in the file
                   associated with `handle'. `descr' is valid only if the
                   output argument `found' is SPICETRUE.

       found       is a logical flag indicating whether a segment was
                   found.  `found' has the value SPICETRUE if a segment was
                   found; otherwise `found' is SPICEFALSE.
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       1) If the input file handle is invalid, the error will be
          diagnosed by routines in the call tree of this routine.

       2) If an error occurs while reading the DLA file, the error
          will be diagnosed by routines in the call tree of this
          routine.
#### Files
       See description of input argument `handle'.
#### Particulars
       DLA files are built using the DAS low-level format; DLA files are
       a specialized type of DAS file in which data are organized as a
       doubly linked list of segments.  Each segment's data belong to
       contiguous components of character, double precision, and integer
       type.

       This routine supports forward traversal of a DLA file's segment
       list.  Note that it is not necessary to call this routine to
       conduct a forward traversal; all that is necessary is to have
       access to the first descriptor in the file, which this routine
       provides.
#### Examples
       1)  Open a DLA file for read access, traverse the segment
           list from front to back, and display segment address
           and size attributes.

                 SpiceDLADescr           descr;
                 SpiceInt                handle;

                 /.
                 Open the DLA file for read access.  Since DLA
                 files use the DAS architecture, we can use DAS
                 routines to open and close the file.

                 Begin a forward search.  Let `descr' contain
                 the descriptor of the first segment.

                 segno = 0;

                    descriptor.

                             (int)(segno),

                             (int)(descr.cbase),
                             (int)(descr.csize)                                  );

                    /.
                    Find the next segment.
                    ./
                    current = descr;

                    dlafns_c ( handle, &current, &descr, &found );
                 }

                 /.
                 Close the file using the DAS close routine.
                 ./
                 dascls_c ( handle );
