## getnode

Get node names of all selected paint

### Usage:

> getnode [option]

> > where option may be one of the following:
> > abort [string]
> >   Stop the getnode search when the node name string is encountered.
> > alias [on|off]
> >   If on, reports all names found for the node. If off, only the canonical name is returned.
> > globals [on|off]
> >   If on, any global node name (names ending with "!") will terminate the search, returning the global name. If off, global names are treated like local node names.
> > fast
> >   Return the first name encountered, rather than finding the canonical node name.

### Summary:

> The getnode command queries areas of selected paint for netlist node names. The converse of this command is goto.

### Implementation Notes:

> getnode is implemented as a built-in command in magic. The node name search uses the same algorithm as the netlist connectivity selection function, and for very large networks, can be quite slow.
