NAME

       checkloconorder - checks the consistency of a list of logical connectors

SYNOPSYS

       #include "mlo.h"
       void checkloconorder(connectors)
       locon_list ∗connectors;

PARAMETERS

       connectors          Pointer to the head of the connector list that is to be sorted

DESCRIPTION

       checkloconorder  checks  the  list of logical connectors pointed to by ∗connectors for conformity towards
       mbk(1) consistency rules.  Checks are done to warranty :

       order               the functions checks that vectorized connectors are ordered and evolve monotonically,
                           with a step of 1.

       name unicity        Vector radicals may not appear as single entity.

       name validity       No space should appear in the name, but a single  one  followed  by  a  number  in  a
                           vector.

ERRORS

       "∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ radical name already used in a connector"
              The  name  is  already used in a connector, either vectorized or not, and therefore cannot be used
              once more.  This ensures that f and f 3 will not be used simultaneously.
       "∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ the radical name has a spurious vectorized value"
              The name is seen as a vector in mbk(1), but its index is not a number or some  text  follows  that
              number.
       "∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ the radical name is not vectorized properly"
              The  name  is  seen  as  a  vector  in  mbk(1), but its index changes in such a way that it is not
              monotonically increasing or decreasing with a step of 1.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mlo.h"
       void savewithcheck(figname)
       char ∗figname;
       {
       lofig_list ∗figure = getlocon(figname, 'A');
         checkloconorder(figure->LOCON);
         savelofig(figure);
       }
