.TH PHREF 3 "October 1, 1997" "ASIM/LIP6" "MBK PHYSICAL STRUCTURE DEFINITIONS"
.SH NAME
phref \- mbk physical reference 
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBphref\fP structure is used to describe a reference belonging to a
symbolic layout model, see \fBphfig\fP(3) for details.
A reference allows to name a point anywhere in a given model. It may then
be seen as a name, and not anymore as a couple of coordinates.
References are mostly used for cell programming and multi-access connector
representation.
.LP
The declarations needed to work on \fBphref\fP are available in the header file
\fI"/labo/include/mph402.h"\fP, where '\fI402\fP' is the actual mbk version.
.LP
The following C structure supports the description of the reference :
.RS
.nf
.if n \{\
.ft B \}
.if t \{\
.ft CR \}
.ta 3n 20n 30n
typedef struct phref {
	struct phref	\(**NEXT;
	char	\(**FIGNAME;
	char	\(**NAME;
	long	XREF,YREF;
	struct ptype	\(**USER;
} phref_list;
.ft R
.fi
.RE
.TP 20
\fINEXT\fP
Pointer to the next reference in the list.
.TP
\fIFIGNAME\fP
Kind of reference. Gives information about the possible uses of the object.
Some \fIFIGNAME\fP are in use today :
.RS
.TP 20
\fB"ref_con"\fP
for multi-access connectors
.TP
\fB"ref_ref"\fP
for all other uses
.RE
.TP
\fINAME\fP
Name of the reference. The refence is identified by its name, so it should be
unique at a given hierarchical level.
.TP
\fIXREF, YREF\fP
Coordinates of the point beeing referenced.
.TP
\fIUSER\fP
Pointer to a ptype list, see \fBptype\fP(3) for details, that is a general
purpose pointer used to share informations on the reference.
