DESCRIPTION

       genders_isnode() tests if the node pointed to by node is listed in the genders file.  If node is NULL, the current node is tested.

       genders_isattr() tests if the attribute pointed to by attr is listed for some node in the genders file.

       genders_isattrval() tests if the attribute pointed to by attr is equal to the value pointed to by val for some node in the genders file.
