NAME

       addlocon - create a logical connector

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.

ERRORS

       "∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ addlocon impossible : connector name already exists in figure ptfig->NAME"
              The name beeing the logical connector idenfier, two connectors may not have the  same  name  in  a
              given figure.
       "∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ addlocon impossible : bad direction dir in figure ptfig->NAME"
              The dir does not have a legal value. For the set of legal values, see locon(3).

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);
       }
