NAME

       mlodebug - logical data structure contents debug function

SYNOPSYS

       #include "mlo.h"
       void mlodebug(headpointer, structurename)
       void ∗headpointer;
       char ∗structurename;

PARAMETER

       headpointer         Pointer to a structure to be displayed

       structurename       Name of the structure to be explored

DESCRIPTION

       mlodebug allows a user interactive visualisation of the internal contents of the structural view of mbk.
       Through  the  use  of a small, but convenient, textual user interface, a step by step exploration of each
       fields of the data structure is made available.  However, if the structure is big, it may be  painful  to
       use.
       First of all, the contents of the expected struture is displayed, with its fields named as they appear in
       the appropriate header file.  Then the user is prompted by a `>>' for an input.
       The input may be either a field name, or a predefined symbol.  Field names are to be typed the  way  they
       are displayed.
       Predefined symbols are:

       _exit               that quit the current debugging session.

       _up                 that comes back to the previous structure.

       _top                returns to the root of the function invocation.

       _stop               puts  kind  of  a tag at the current position in the structure.  It will be available
                           later on to return to this position.

       _back               returns to the previous _stop position.

       The debugger functions are easy to understand, so just try it!

EXAMPLE

       #include "mlo.h"
       void scan_n1_y()
       {
          getlofig("n1_y", 'A');
          mlodebug(HEAD_LOFIG, "lofig");
       }
