# getlores(3)

retrieve a logical resistor

## NAME

getlores - retrieve a logical resistor

## SYNOPSYS

```
#include "mlo.h"
lores_list ∗getlores(ptfig,name)
lofig_list ∗ptfig ;
const char ∗name ;
```

## PARAMETERS

- *ptfig*

  Pointer to the figure in which the resistor should be seeked

- *name*

  Instance name of the resistor

## DESCRIPTION

**getlores** looks in the list of resistors of the logical model pointed to by *ptfig* for a resistor identified by its instance *name*.

## RETURN VALUE

**getlores** returns a pointer to the given resistor.

## ERRORS

**"∗∗∗ mbk error ∗∗∗ getlores impossible :** **resistor** *name* **doesn't exist in figure** *ptfig -\> NAME***"**

No resistor matches the name.

## EXAMPLE

```
#include "mlo.h"
lores_list ∗exist(char ∗figname,char ∗resname)
{
  return getlores(getlofig(figname,'A'),resname) ;
}
```
