This section describes the intermediate-level APIs used
when programming with ports.
You use these APIs whenever the code generator
cannot create the links on its own, including the following cases:
- An external source file is used to initialize the
system and you must write the code to create the links between the
objects.
- The port multiplicities are not definite (for example, *).
- The port multiplicities do not match across the
links. This situation could happen when ranges of multiplicities are
used (for example, 1..10).
