Find layer map file name and path for a library

I'm trying to write a generic piece of code that will return the layermap file location, with file name, for a variety of projects (which could potential have different layermap file naming conventions. The below code is what I've used to date, but this assumes the file name is xxxx.layermap. I can obviously do some string matching to find it, assuming the various files all contain some common characters. I thought I'd ask if there is a simpler way to find it, I know that this information is automatically loaded into the Xstream out gui, so maybe I can use the same approach to find it.

techLibName=techGetTechFile(cv)~>libName

techLibLayerMap=strcat(ddGetObj(techLibName)~>readPath "/" techLibName ".layermap")
