LOCON(3)	       MBK LOGICAL STRUCTURE DEFINITIONS	      LOCON(3)

NAME
       locon - mbk logical connector

DESCRIPTION
       The  locon is used to describe a	connector of the logical view	  of a
       figure. Connectors are describing the cell interface, and are the  link
       between its physical and	logical	views, so the names must be the	same.

       The  declarations  needed  to work on locon are available in the	header
       file "/labo/include/mlo404.h", where '404' is the actual	mbk version.

       The following C structure supports the description of the logical  con-
       nector :
	      typedef struct locon {
		 struct	locon	  *NEXT;
		 char		  *NAME;
		 struct	losig	  *SIG;
		 void		  *ROOT;
		 char		  DIRECTION;
		 char		  TYPE;
		 struct	ptype	  *USER;
	      }	locon_list;

       NEXT		   Pointer to the next locon of	the list.

       NAME		   Name	of the connector. It identifies	the connector,
			   so  it  should  unique in a given logical figure. A
			   logical connector with a given name	correspond  to
			   the physical	connector or connectors	of this	name.

       SIG		   Pointer to the signal linked	to the connector. This
			   signal  is, of course, unique. See losig(3) for de-
			   tails.

       ROOT		   Pointer to the object it belongs  to.  This	object
			   may be either a lofig, or a loins, depending	on the
			   type	 of the	connector.  See	lofig(3) and loins for
			   details.

       DIRECTION	   This	indicates the way  of  the  information	 going
			   through the connector.  Six directions are legal :

			   IN		       input

			   OUT		       output

			   INOUT	       input and output

			   UNKNOWN	       no information is available

			   TRISTATE	       tristate	output

			   TRANSCV	       tristate	output and input

       TYPE		   Character  indicating if the	connector belongs to a
			   model or an instance. It can	take two values	:

			   EXTERNAL	       for figure connectors

			   INTERNAL	       for instance connectors

			   The TYPE is needed to appropriately cast  the  ROOT
			   field,  and	must  be  approriatly  filled  by  the
			   parsers. A misuse of	it may	cause  strange	behav-
			   iours.

       USER		   Pointer  to	a  ptype  list,	see ptype for details,
			   that	is a general purpose pointer used to share in-
			   formation on	the connector.
