GENLIB_LOCON.3(October 1, 1997)		       GENLIB_LOCON.3(October 1, 1997)

NAME
       GENLIB_LOCON - adds a logical connector to the current netlist figure

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<genlib.h>
       void GENLIB_LOCON(connector, direction, signal);
       char *connector,	*signal;
       char direction;

PARAMETERS
       connector	   Name	 of the	connector to be	created	in the current
			   figure

       direction	   Indicates the connector behaviour regarding signals
			   propagation

       signal		   Name	of the signal on which the connector is	linked

DESCRIPTION
       LOCON add a logical connector to	the interface of  the  actual  working
       figure.	This  connector	 is logicaly linked to the signal signal.  The
       direction attribut may take the following values:

       IN     as input.

       OUT    as output.

       INOUT  as input/output, like supplies or	clock for example.

       UNKNOWN
	      if one doesn't know what it is.

       TRISTATE
	      as high impedance	output.

       TRANSV as transciever. That means TRISTATE input	plus output.

ERROR
       "GENLIB_LOCON impossible	: missing GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG"
	      No figure	has been yet specified by a call to DEF_LOFIG.	So  it
	      isn't  possible  to add anything.	you must call DEF_LOFIG	before
	      any other	netlist	call.
       "GENLIB_LOCON : Bad signal or connector bus name"
	      A	signal or connector, described under a bus form, has an	 ille-
	      gal syntax.

       "GENLIB_LOCON : All LOCON should	be defined befor any GENLIB_LOINS"
	      A	 connector  is added after instances. This is a	methodological
	      error.  Only move	your LOCON before  the	first  LOINS  in  your
	      code.
       "GENLIB_LOCON : different number	of signals and connectors"
	      A	 bussed	 form  of  signal and connector	has been used, but the
	      width of the busses are not equal. This  is  an  obvious	error,
	      check it.
       "Illegal	addlocon. Connector connector already exist in figure figname"
	      A	connector name must be unique in a given figure	at a given hi-
	      erarchy level.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Due  to the vti file format, the	direction of connectors	is lost	if one
       uses it as starting point of a netlist desciption. All  the  connectors
       have then the UNKNOWN direction.
       Alliance	 and  edif  file  format know only about IN, OUT, and UNKNOWN.
       Only vhdl format	fully supports the whole thing.

EXAMPLE
       #include	<genlib.h>
       main()
       {
	    /* Create a	figure to work on  */
	    GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG("mycell");
	    /* define interface	 */
	    GENLIB_LOCON("i", INPUT, "sig1");
	    GENLIB_LOCON("o", OUTPUT, "sig2");
	    /* Place an	instance */
	    GENLIB_LOINS("model","instance", "sig1", "sig2", EOL);
	    /* Save all	that on	disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_LOFIG();
       }
