sortlocon.3alc - Man Page
sort the logical connectors of a figure by name
Synopsis
#include "mlo.h" void sortlocon(connectors) locon_list ∗∗connectors;
Parameters
- connectors
Pointer to the head of the connector list that is to be sorted
Description
sortlocon sorts the list of logical connectors pointed to by ∗connectors. The connectors are sorted by names, using a numerical comparison function that ensures x_12 > x_2.
The standard qsort(3) function library is called for sorting. Therefore, a table the number of connectors wide is created. This is not very memory consuming since the number of connectors in a circuit interface is quite small, nor very time consuming since this algorithm runs in a n log n time.
Example
#include "mlo.h" void savesorted(figname) char ∗figname; { lofig_list ∗figure = getlocon(figname, 'A'); sortlocon(&figure->LOCON); sortlosig(&figure->LOSIG); savelofig(figure); }
