  # Run the expect command for the caller and return the list index of the

  # This function offers the following benefits over calling the expect
  # command directly:
  # - It makes program debug easier.  When the program is run with --debug=1,
  # this function prints useful debug output.
  # - It will do standardized timeout and eof handling.

  # Description of argument(s):
  # pattern_list                    A list of patterns to be matched.  If one
  #                                 of the patterns matches, the list index of
  #                                 the matching item will be returned.  By
  #                                 default, each pattern is presumed to be a
  #                                 regex.  If the caller wishes to, they may
  #                                 precede each pattern with either of the
  #                                 following: "-re ", "-gl " or "-ex " in
  #                                 order to explicitly choose the kind of
  #                                 match to be done..
  # message                         A message explaining what is being
  #                                 expected (e.g. "an SOL login prompt").
  #                                 This will be included in output messages.
  # timeout                         The expect timeout value.

  # Example usage:

  #     "an SOL prompt" 10]
