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

NAME
     GENLIB_DEF_PHSC - load a netlist and open a layout model as current figure

SYNOPSIS
     #include <genlib.h>
     void GENLIB_DEF_PHSC(cellname)
     char *cellname;

PARAMETERS
     cellname		 Name  of  the netlist figure to be looked for in memory
			 or on disk, for futher physical placement.

DESCRIPTION
     DEF_PHSC defines the current working figure by it's name, the cellname  ar-
     gument,  for  layout and netlist operations.  It can be use anywhere in the
     genlib program, but must appear at least once at the top of  it,  since  it
     also initialize the user's preferences through environment variables.
     DEF_PHSC looks for the netlist figure cellname in memory, and if not found,
     on disk. If it fails, an error occurs and the process terminates.
     The  main	issue  of this function is to allow the netlist and physical de-
     scriptions of a circuit in two separate files, for standard cell  approach.
     So  there	is  no need to recreate the netlist view each time the placement
     changes.
     If the physical figure called cellname doesn't exists in memory, it is cre-
     ated.  If it already exists in memory, it makes it the current working fig-
     ure.  DEF_PHSC doesn't look on disk for the figure cellname, so be  careful
     not to overwrite an existing file while saving later on.

EXAMPLE
     #include <genlib.h>
     main()
     {
	  /* Create a figure to work on  */
	  GENLIB_DEF_PHSC("mycell");
	  /* Place an instance */
	  GENLIB_SC_PLACE("instance", NOSYM,0L,0L);
	  /* Save all that on disk */
	  GENLIB_SAVE_PHSC();
     }
