LOFIGCHAIN(3)		      MBK LOGICAL FUNCTIONS		   LOFIGCHAIN(3)

NAME
     lofigchain - creates a netlist in terms of connectors on signals

SYNOPSIS
     #include "mlo.h"
     void lofigchain(ptfig)
     lofig_list *ptfig;

PARAMETER
     ptfig		 Pointer to a lofig_list

DESCRIPTION
     The  lofigchain  function	creates  the  dual representation of natural mbk
     netlists. In mbk, netlists are described in terms	of  signal  attached  to
     connectors.   With lofigchain, one can have the dual sight : connectors at-
     tached to signals.  This can be very useful, depending on the  application,
     but it's also memory consuming on big netlists, since two views of the same
     thing are present in memory at the same time.

     The  information  resulting  of a call to lofigchain is present in the USER
     field of all signals of the figure, accessible  through  ptfig->LOSIG.  The
     USER  field has a ptype typed LOFIGCHAIN, that points on a chain_list whose
     DATA points on each locon being connected to the given signal.

ERROR
     "*** mbk error *** lofigchain impossible : figure ptfig->NAME is  interface
     only"
	    In	order to be valid, the netlist resulting of a call to lofigchain
	    must be done on a figure entirely loaded in ram.  See  getlofig  for
	    details.

EXAMPLE
     #include "mut.h"
     #include "mlo.h"
     void print_netlist(p)
     lofig_list *p;
     {
     losig_list *s;
     chain_list *c;
	lofigchain(p);
	for (s = p->LOSIG; s; s = s->NEXT){
	   (void)fprintf(stdout, "signal : index = %ld name = %s\n",
		 s->INDEX, getsigname(s));
	   c = (chain_list *)(getptype(s->USER, (long)LOFIGCHAIN)->DATA);
	   while (c) {
	      fprintf(stdout, "conname : %s\n",
		 (locon_list *)(c->DATA)->NAME);
	      c = c->NEXT;
	   }
	}
     }
