SYNOPSYS¶

#include "mlo.h"
int guessextdir(ptfig)
lofig_list ∗ptfig;

PARAMETER¶

ptfig

Pointer to a lofig_list

DESCRIPTION¶

The guessextdir function guesses external connectors directions from internal connectors' ones. The translation table below indicates the resulting direction for two internals connectors.

         IN      OUT      INOUT  UNKNOWN  TRISTATE TRANSCV
IN       IN      INOUT    INOUT  IN       TRANSCV  TRANSCV

RETURN VALUE¶

guessextdir returns 1 on success, 0 if there is an error in the translation.

ERROR¶

The values followed by a + character in the translation table indicate an error.

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);
	guessextdir(ptfig);
	return ptfig;
}
