SORTLOCON(3) MBK LOGICAL FUNCTIONS SORTLOCON(3)
NAME
sortlocon - sort the logical connectors of a figure by name
ORIGIN

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);
}
