bionic (3) GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG.3.gz

NAME

       GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG - open a netlist model as current figure

SYNOPSYS

       #include <genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG(cellname)
       char ∗cellname;

PARAMETERS

       cellname            Name of the cell which all futher calls to genlib logical functions will work on

DESCRIPTION

       DEF_LOFIG  defines  the  current working structural figure by it's name, the cellname argument. It can be
       use anywhere in the genlib program, but must appear at least once  at  the  top  of  it,  since  it  also
       initalize the user's preferences through environment variables.
       If  the  figure called cellname doesn't exists in memory, it is created.  If it already exists in memory,
       it makes it the current working figure.  DEF_LOFIG doesn't look on disk for the figure  cellname,  so  be
       careful not to overwrite an existing file while saving later on.

EXAMPLE

       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
            /∗ Create a figure to work on  ∗/
            GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG("cell");
            /∗ Place an instance ∗/
            GENLIB_LOINS("model","instance", "sig1", "sig2", "sig3", "vdd", "vss", EOL);
            /∗ Save all that on disk ∗/
            GENLIB_SAVE_LOFIG();
       }
