.SH PARAMETER

\fIptsig\fP
Pointer to \fBlosig_list\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBgetsigname\fP function choose the higher hierachical level name of the
alias list of a signal.
The alias list is pointer to by the \fINAMECHAIN\fP pointer of the \fBlosig\fP
structure, and contains zero or more names corresponding to the signal.
Since the signal may result from a flatten, instance names may be concatenated
to the actual signal name.
.SH RETURN VALUE
\fBgetsigname\fP returns the higher hierachy level name, if
\fIptsig\->NAMECHAIN\fP is not \fBNULL\fP, else a name constructed with
the signal \fBINDEX\fP is returned.
