NAME

checkloconorder - checks the consistency of a list of logical connectors

See the file buster/alliance/alc_origin.1.en.gz.

SYNOPSYS

#include "mlo.h"
void checkloconorder(connectors)
locon_list ∗connectors;

PARAMETERS

connectors: Pointer to the head of the connector list that is to be sorted

DESCRIPTION

checkloconorder checks the list of logical connectors pointed to by ∗connectors for conformity towards mbk(1) consistency rules. Checks are done to warranty :

order: the functions checks that vectorized connectors are ordered and evolve monotonically, with a step of 1.
name unicity: Vector radicals may not appear as single entity.
name validity: No space should appear in the name, but a single one followed by a number in a vector.

ERRORS

"∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ radical name already used in a connector"

The name is already used in a connector, either vectorized or not, and therefore cannot be used once more. This ensures that f and f 3 will not be used simultaneously.

"∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ the radical name has a spurious vectorized value"

The name is seen as a vector in mbk(1), but its index is not a number or some text follows that number.

"∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ the radical name is not vectorized properly"

The name is seen as a vector in mbk(1), but its index changes in such a way that it is not monotonically increasing or decreasing with a step of 1.

EXAMPLE

#include "mlo.h"
void savewithcheck(figname)
char ∗figname;
{
lofig_list ∗figure = getlocon(figname, 'A');


  checkloconorder(figure->LOCON);


  savelofig(figure);
}
