Synopsis
PDX_MSGT picr_Loop(long option, int model, MDA_PTR orig_db_ptr, int tag, int identifier, MDA_COUNT n_fins, MDA_PTR *fins, MDA_PTR vertex, int is_isolated, int loop_type, MDA_PTR *loop_ptr)
Purpose
Create the PINT model Loop entity.
Description
This function creates a PINT Loop entity for the given input data. The data provided must result in a valid definition. The orig_db_ptr argument should contain the database pointer of the entity that the new entity was created from (usually this should be obtained by the calling routine via mda_GetOrigDbptr) or MDA_NULL_PTR. See the mda_intro man page for more information about predecessor entities.
