r"""
Find full path to specified files.
Reports the full paths to the files given through ``fname``. We look
for the file in (1) the current directory, (2) in $GMT_USERDIR (if
defined), (3) in $GMT_DATADIR (if defined), or (4) in $GMT_CACHEDIR
(if defined).
``fname`` can also be a downloadable file (either a complete URL, an
@file for downloading from the GMT data server, or any of the remote
datasets at https://www.pygmt.org/latest/api/index.html#datasets).
In these cases, use the ``download`` parameter to set the desired
behavior. If ``download`` is not used (or ``False``), the file will
not be found.

Parameters
----------
fname : str or list
One or more file names of any data type (grids, tables, etc.).
download : bool or str
[**a**\|\ **c**\|\ **l**\|\ **u**].
If the ``fname`` argument is a downloadable file (either a complete
URL, an @file for downloading from the GMT data server, or any of
the remote datasets at
https://www.pygmt.org/latest/api/index.html#datasets)
we will try to download the file if it is not found in your local
data or cache directories. If set to ``True`` or **l** is passed
the file is downloaded to the current directory. Use **a** to place
files in the appropriate folder under the user directory (this is
where GMT normally places downloaded files), **c** to place it in
the user cache directory, or **u** for the user data directory
instead (i.e., ignoring any subdirectory structure).

Returns
-------
path
The path(s) to the file(s), depending on the parameters used.
Raises

FileNotFoundError
If the file is not found.
