SYNOPSYS

#include "mlo.h"
char *getsigname(ptsig)
losig_list *ptsig;

PARAMETER

ptsig

Pointer to losig_list

DESCRIPTION

The getsigname function choose the higher hierachical level name of the alias list of a signal. The alias list is pointer to by the NAMECHAIN pointer of the losig structure, and contains zero or more names corresponding to the signal. Since the signal may result from a flatten, instance names may be concatenated to the actual signal name.

RETURN VALUE

getsigname returns the higher hierachy level name, if ptsig->NAMECHAIN is not NULL, else a name constructed with the signal INDEX is returned.

EXAMPLE

#include "mlo.h"
void print_signame(p)
losig_list *p;
{
   fprintf(stdout, "signal name : %s\n", getsigname(p));
}
