GETLOFIG(3)		 MBK LOGICAL UTILITY FUNCTIONS		   GETLOFIG(3)

NAME
       getlofig	- give back a pointer to a lofig

SYNOPSYS
       #include	"mlo.h"
       lofig_list *getlofig(figname, mode)
       char *figname;
       char mode;

PARAMETERS
       figname		   Name	of the figure to be created

       mode		   Demanded mode for the figure

DESCRIPTION
       getlofig	 returns  a pointer to the figure called figname with the war-
       ranty that the expected information is present in memory.
       If mode is 'A' then the figure has all its lists	filled,	else the  fig-
       ure may either be complete or interface only.
       This  function  allows  to  completly mask disk access for applications
       programs. If the	figure is in memory, with the specified	mode, then the
       function	returns	the appropriate	pointer. Else, the function performs a
       call to the loadlofig(3)	and returns a pointer to the loaded figure.

RETURN VALUE
       getlofig	returns	a pointer to the wanted	figure.

ERRORS
       getlofig	cannot give any	errors,	but the	subsequent calls  it  performs
       to  parsers  do.	 So the	source of trouble may be the call to getlofig.
       See loadlofig(3)	for details.

EXAMPLE
       #include	"mlo.h"
       lofig_list *na2_y()
       {
	  /* find in memory or load from disk na2_y */
	  return getlofig("na2_y", 'A');
       }
