Parameter Checking

  Parameters passed into the user functions are assumed to be of correct number and type. This of course needs to be checked. The checking is assumed to be a part of the user interface.

LIBLINCKS functions do check such things as whether a label is valid, whether a position number given is out of range for a particular list, and where appropriate whether tag names exist. These problems are reported via an error code as the function return value.
