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

NAME
     GENLIB_LOINSE - add a logical instance to the current figure, with explicit
     connections

SYNOPSIS
     #include <genlib.h>
     void GENLIB_LOINSE(model, instance, couple1, couple2, ..., couplen, EOL);
     char *model, *instance;
     char *couple1, *couple2, ..., *couplen;

PARAMETERS
     model		 Name of the model to be logically instantiated

     instance		 Name to be given to the new instance

     couple1, couple2, ..., couplen
			 Explicit  list  of  connections  between connectors and
			 signals.

DESCRIPTION
     LOINSE add a logical instance in the actual working  figure.   LOINSE  uses
     environment variables to choose the file format and the path to the file.
     MBK_IN_LO set up the input file format, the valid ones being :
	    hns
	    fne
	    al
	    alx
     MBK_WORK_LIB  set	up  the  output  file  path.  Any valid unix path is ok.
     LOINSE look in memory and then, if not found, on disk for the figure model-
     name. This is due to the need to ensure consistency between the  model  and
     its ascociated instances.
     The  instance  is added with the name instance, and each of the signals are
     connected to an instance connector.  The connector signal link is explicit,
     and described in the couples arguments.  The couples arguments are supposed
     to have the form:
     conector => signal
     or
     conector[a:b] => signal[n:m]
     where a - b equals, in absolute value, n - m.

ERRORS
     "GENLIB_LOINSE 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_LOINSE : Bad signal bus name"
	    A signal, described under a bus form, has an illegal syntax.
     "Illegal addloins. Instance insname already exist in figure figname"
	    An instance name must be unique in a given figure at a given hierar-
	    chy level.
     "Illegal addloins. Instance model is the figure figname itself"
	    A figure cannot be included in itself. Be careful, the check is only
	    made at current hierarchy level.
     "Illegal  addloins.  Connector  number discrepancy between figure modelname
     and instance insname in figure figname"
	    The number of connector in the model is not equal to the  number  of
	    signals describing the connectivity during the LOINSE call.

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_LOINSE("model","instance", "con1 => sig1", "con2 => sig2", 0L);
	  GENLIB_LOINSE("stuff","shirt", "i[31:0] => out[32:63]", "j[2] => sig2", 0L);
	  /* Save all that on disk */
	  GENLIB_SAVE_LOFIG();
     }
