<H2>getnode</H2>
<HR>
Get node names of all selected paint
<HR>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>getnode</B> [<I>option</I>] <BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>option</I> may be one of the following:
<DL>
<DT> <B>abort</B> [<I>string</I>]
<DD> Stop the <B>getnode</B> search when the node name
<I>string</I> is encountered.
<DT> <B>alias</B> [<B>on</B>|<B>off</B>]
<DD> If <B>on</B>, reports all names found for the node. If
<B>off</B>, only the canonical name is returned.
<DT> <B>globals</B> [<B>on</B>|<B>off</B>]
<DD> If <B>on</B>, any global node name (names ending with "!")
will terminate the search, returning the global name.
If <B>off</B>, global names are treated like local
node names.
<DT> <B>fast</B>
<DD> Return the first name encountered, rather than finding
the canonical node name.
</DL>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>getnode</B> command queries areas of selected paint for
netlist node names. The converse of this command is <B>goto</B>.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>getnode</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
The node name search uses the same algorithm as the netlist
connectivity selection function, and for very large networks, can
be quite slow.
