SYNOPSYS

       #include "mlo.h"
       int restorealldir(ptfig)
       lofig_list *ptfig;

PARAMETER

       ptfig		   Pointer to a lofig_list

DESCRIPTION

       The restorealldir function restores the directions of all the connectors of the instances.  Each instance model	logical  view  is  loaded,
       and  the  restoredirvbe	function applied.  If a model doesn't have a vbe file on the path, the restorealldir and guessextdir functions are
       used on the model.
       It is the charge of the user to delete the models loaded in memory for the function purpose.

RETURN VALUE

       restorealldir returns 1 on success, 0 if there is an error while reading the vbe file.

ERROR

       restorealldir cannot give any errors, but the function use restoredirvbe that can give errors reading vbe  files.   see	restoredirvbe  for
       details.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mut.h"
       #include "mlo.h"
       lofig_list * getgoodlofig(figname, mode)
       char *figname;
       char mode;
       {
       lofig_list *ptfig;
	  ptfig = getlofig(figname, mode);
	  restorealldir(ptfig);
	  return ptfig;
       }

NAME

       lofigchain - creates a netlist in terms of connectors on signals

SYNOPSYS

       #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 attached 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 beeing 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
",
		   s->INDEX, getsigname(s));
	     c = (chain_list *)(getptype(s->USER, (long)LOFIGCHAIN)->DATA);
	     while (c) {
		fprintf(stdout, "conname : %s
",
		   (locon_list *)(c->DATA)->NAME);
		c = c->NEXT;
	     }
	  }
       }
