NAME

       getsigname - choose a signal name in alias list

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));
       }
