.SH PARAMETERS
.TP 20
\fIptfig\fP
Pointer to the figure in which the instance should be seeked
.TP

Name of the instance
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBgetloins\fP looks in the list of instances of the logical model pointed
to by \fIptfig\fP for a instance identified by its \fIname\fP. This instance
is unique, since the \fIname\fP is the instance identifier.
.SH RETURN VALUE
\fBgetloins\fP returns a pointer to the instance that matches the
\fIname\fP.
.SH ERRORS
