VHIER(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation VHIER(1)NAMEvhier - Return all files in a verilog hierarchy using Verilog::Netlist
SYNOPSISvhier--help
vhier [verilog_options] [-o filename] [verilog_files.v...]
DESCRIPTION
Vhier reads the Verilog files passed on the command line and outputs a
tree of all of the filenames, modules, and cells referenced by that
file.
VERILOG ARGUMENTS
The following arguments are compatible with GCC, VCS and most Verilog
programs.
+define+var+value =item -Dvar=value
Defines the given preprocessor symbol.
-F file
Read the specified file, and act as if all text inside it was
specified as command line parameters. Any relative paths are
relative to the directory containing the specified file.
-f file
Read the specified file, and act as if all text inside it was
specified as command line parameters. Any relative paths are
relative to the current directory.
+incdir+dir =item -Idir
Add the directory to the list of directories that should be
searched for include directories or libraries.
+libext+ext+ext...
Specify the extensions that should be used for finding modules. If
for example module x is referenced, look in x.ext.
-sv Specifies SystemVerilog language features should be enabled;
equivalent to "--language 1800-2009". This option is selected by
default, it exists for compatibility with other simulators.
-y dir
Add the directory to the list of directories that should be
searched for include directories or libraries.
VHIER ARGUMENTS--help
Displays this message and program version and exits.
--o file
Use the given filename for output instead of stdout.
--cells
Show the module name of all cells in top-down order.
--forest
Show "ASCII-art" hierarchy tree of all cells (like ps --forest)
--input-files
Show all input filenames. Copying all of these files should result
in only those files needed to represent the entire design.
--instance
Show module instance names.
--language <1364-1995|1364-2001|1364-2005|1800-2005|1800-2009>
Set the language standard for the files. This determines which
tokens are signals versus keywords, such as the ever-common "do"
(data-out signal, versus a do-while loop keyword).
--resolve-files
Show resolved filenames passed on the command line. This will
convert raw module and filenames without paths to include the
library search path directory. Output filenames will be in the
same order as passed on the command line. Unlike --input-files or
--module-files, hierarchy is not traversed.
--module-files
Show all module filenames in top-down order. Child modules will
always appear as low as possible, so that reversing the list will
allow bottom-up processing of modules. Unlike input-files, header
files are not included.
--modules
Show all module names.
--nomissing
Do not complain about references to missing modules.
--missing-modules
With --nomissing, show all modules that are not found.
--synthesis
Define SYNTHESIS, and ignore text bewteen "ambit", "pragma",
"synopsys" or "synthesis" translate_off and translate_on meta
comments. Note using metacomments is discouraged as they have led
to silicon bugs (versus ifdef SYNTHESIS); see
<http://www.veripool.org/papers/TenIPEdits_SNUGBos07_paper.pdf>.
--top-module module
Start the report at the specified module name, ignoring all modules
that are not the one specified with --top-module or below, and
report an error if the --top-module specified does not exist.
Without this option vhier will report all modules, starting at the
module(s) that have no children below them.
Note this option will not change the result of the --input-files
list, as the files needed to parse any design are independent of
which modules are used.
--version
Displays program version and exits.
--xml
Create output in XML format.
