Hi, Igor.

All objects have the same type OBJECT (struct st_object) defined in
libgeda/include/libgeda/struct.h. It has pointers to "substructures".
The substructure for components is COMPLEX, for pins it is LINE in
essence. The struct COMPLEX (st_complex) has a member named prim_objs
which is a list of component primitives. Text objects are attributes if
their text is in the form 'name=value'. If an object is an attribute,
the st_object member attached_to shows the object where the attribute is
attached (if it is attached). The lowlevel logic of working with
attributes is in libgeda/src/o_attrib.c.

HTH,
  Vladimir
