NAME

       filepath - return the whole search path of a file

ORIGIN

       Paris, France.

SYNOPSYS

       #include "mut.h"
       char *filepath(name, extension)
       char *name, *extension;

PARAMETERS

       name		   Name of the file to be search for

       extension	   File extension

DESCRIPTION

       filepath return the absolute path of a cell.  This is useful for error messages, since the caller of mbk file  functions  is  not  able	to
       specify	explicitly  which  file  it opened.  Having such an information is also necessary when last modification times or access times are
       needed, as for consistency checks.  The file is searched through the environment  variable  MBK_WORK_LIB(1),  and  if  not  found,  through
       MBK_CATA_LIB(1) in the user defined order.
       The file to be searched is called name.extension, if extension is not NULL, else it is name. If extension is the empty string, "", then the
       file name will be name. .

RETURN VALUE

       filepath returns NULL on failure, ie the file is not in the pathes, or the absolute path on success.  The value returned, when not NULL, is
       stored in a static buffer, so this values is to use at return time or copied into a user buffer.

EXAMPLE

       #include <stdio.h>
       #include "mut.h"
       #include "mph.h"
       void vti_error(fig, error)
       phfig_list *fig;
       char *(*error)();
       {
	     fprintf(stderr, "Syntax error in %s
", filepath(fig->NAME, "cp"));
	     fprintf(stderr, "%s
", error());
       }

NAME

       instr - find an occurence of a string in a string, starting at a specified character.

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs	to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

SYNOPSYS

       #include "mut.h"
       char *instr(s, find, from)
       char *s, *find, from;

PARAMETERS

       s		   Pointer to the string to be searched for the pattern

       find		   Pointer to the string to be found, the pattern

       from		   Character to be searched backwards before searching for the pattern

DESCRIPTION

       instr searches the first occurence of the string find in the string s, starting its search at the last occurence of the from  character	in
       the string s.

       If either s or find is NULL, the function returns NULL.	If from is (char)0, the pattern is searched from the begining of s.
       This  quite  exotic behaviour is useful to search the occurence of a name in a string resulting from a flatten, when only a terminal object
       name is to be taken into account.

RETURN VALUES

       instr return NULL either if the pattern find is not present in the searched string s, or if one at least of these two string are NULL.	If
       the pattern is found, a value different from NULL is returned.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mut.h"
       /* check for the pattern 'ck' anywhere in the string */
       #define contains_ck(name)instr(name, "ck", ' ')
       /* check for the pattern 'ck' in the signal name, not instance ones */
       #define isclock(ptsig) instr(getsigname(ptsig), "ck", SEPAR)
