            the port of the datafind server on the given host
        return_all: `bool`, default: `False`
            return all matched frame types, otherwise only the first match is
            returned
        allow_tape : `bool`, default: `True`
            include frame files on (slow) magnetic tape in the search

        Returns
        -------
        frametype : `str`, `list`
