5    <code class="function">SPI_cursor_find</code> finds an existing portal by
6    name.  This is primarily useful to resolve a cursor name returned
7    as text by some other function.

14    Beware that this function can return a <code class="type">Portal</code> object
15    that does not have cursor-like properties; for example it might not
16    return tuples.  If you simply pass the <code class="type">Portal</code> pointer
17    to other SPI functions, they can defend themselves against such
18    cases, but caution is appropriate when directly inspecting
19    the <code class="type">Portal</code>.
