SORTLOCON(3)						       MBK LOGICAL FUNCTIONS						      SORTLOCON(3)

NAME

       sortlocon - sort the logical connectors of a figure by name

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 "mlo.h"
       void sortlocon(connectors)
       locon_list **connectors;

PARAMETERS

       connectors	   Pointer to the head of the connector list that is to be sorted

DESCRIPTION

       sortlocon sorts the list of logical connectors pointed to by *connectors.  The connectors are sorted by names, using a numerical comparison
       function that ensures x_12 > x_2.
       The  standart  qsort(3)	function library is called for sorting.  Therefore, a table the number of connectors wide is created.  This is not
       very memory consuming since the number of connectors in a circuit interface is quite small, nor very time consuming  since  this  algorithm
       runs in a n log n time.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mlo.h"
       void savesorted(figname)
       char *figname;
       {
       lofig_list *figure = getlocon(figname, 'A');
	 sortlocon(&figure->LOCON);
	 sortlosig(&figure->LOSIG);
	 savelofig(figure);
       }
