SYNOPSYS

#include "mlo.h"
locon_list *addlocon(ptfig, name, ptsig, dir)
lofig_list *ptfig;
char *name;
losig_list *ptsig;
char dir;

PARAMETERS

ptfig

Pointer to the figure in which the connector should be added

name

Name of the connector

ptsig

Pointer on the signal linked to the connector

dir

Connector direction type

DESCRIPTION

addlocon creates a new figure connector called name and adds it to the list of connectors pointed to by ptfig->LOCON. The new connector is added in front of the list, and becomes itself the list head.
The parameters name, ptsig, dir, width fill respectivly the NAME, SIG and DIR fields of the locon structure. The name should be unique at a given hierarchical level since it's the connector identifier.
The field TYPE is set to EXTERNAL since a cell connector is beeing created. The instance connectors are builded up by the addloins(3) call. See addloins(3) for details. For a list of valid dir, see locon(3).

RETURN VALUE

addlocon returns a pointer to the newly created connector.

EXAMPLE

#include "mlo.h"
locon_list *du_con(ptfig, ptcon) /* duplicate connector */
lofig_list *ptfig;
locon_list *ptcon;
{
   return addlocon(ptfig, ptcon->NAME, ptcon->SIG, ptcon->DIR);
}
