+  Mainly it is here as a convenient way to remember the syntax!
+
+  For this macro, if the fileref exists but the underlying file does not exist
+
+  @param fref the fileref to detect
+
+  @return output returns 1 if found AND the file exists.  0 is returned if not
+  found, and -1 is returned if the fileref is found but the file does not exist.
