NAME
       GENLIB_BUS - Creates a bus name for netlist

SYNOPSYS
       #include <genlib.h>
       char *GENLIB_BUS(busname, from, to);
       char *busname;
       long from, to;

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

PARAMETERS
       busname		   Common signal name for a bus

       from		   Starting index of the set of signal, from included

       to		   Ending index of the set of signal, to included

DESCRIPTION
       GENLIB_BUS Creates a set of names, based upon a common name, valid for the genlib netlist functions that manipulate the signal, and/or con-
       nector, concept.  They are:
	      LOINS(3)
	      LOCON(3)
       The  from, to arguments give the boundaries of the bus to be created, both of them beeing included in the set. The function allows increas-
       ing or decreasing order busses, as one could expect.
       This function has a constant equivalent, it means that if the from, to values are known at compilation time, one  should  better  use,  for
       readability purposes, the "[n:m]" construct.

EXAMPLE
       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
       int b = 0;
       int e = 12;
	    /* Create a figure to work on  */
	    GENLIB_DEF_LOFIG("mycell");
	    /* define interface  */
	    GENLIB_LOCON(GENLIB_BUS("i", b, e), INPUT, GENLIB_BUS("sig", b, e);
	    GENLIB_LOCON("o[2:0]", OUTPUT, "sigout[4:6]");
	    /* Place an instance */
	    GENLIB_LOINS("model","instance", GENLIB_BUS("sig", e/2), "sigout[6]", EOL);
	    /* Save all that on disk */
	    GENLIB_SAVE_LOFIG();
       }
