# GENLIB\_LOAD\_LOFIG(3)

loads a netlist form disk and opens it as current figure

## NAME

GENLIB\_LOAD\_LOFIG - loads a netlist form disk and opens it as current figure

## SYNOPSYS

```
#include <genlib.h>
void GENLIB_LOAD_LOFIG(cellname)
char ∗cellname;
```

## PARAMETERS

- *cellname*

  Name of the cell which all futher calls to genlib logical functions will work on

## DESCRIPTION

**LOAD\_LOFIG** loads a netlist from disk and defines it as current working structural figure.  This overrides the working figure initialized by **DEF\_LOFIG**(3), if any. So the next call to **SAVE\_LOFIG** will save the cell called *cellname*.

## EXAMPLE

```
#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
	/∗ Loads the figure to work on  ∗/
	GENLIB_LOAD_LOFIG("cell");
	/∗ Add an instance in cell ∗/
	GENLIB_LOINS("model","instance", "sig1", "sig2", "sig3", "vdd", "vss", EOL);
	/∗ Save all that on disk ∗/
	GENLIB_SAVE_LOFIG();
}
```
