VZTMINER(1) Dumpfile Data Mining VZTMINER(1)NAMEvztminer - Data mining of VZT files
SYNTAXvztminer [option]... [VZTFILE]
DESCRIPTION
Mines VZT files for specific data values and generates gtkwave save
files to stdout for future reload.
OPTIONS-d,--dumpfile <filename>
Specify VZT input dumpfile.
-m,--match <value>
Specifies "bitwise" match data (binary, real, string)
-x,--hex <value>
Specifies hexadecimal match data that will automatically be con‐
verted to binary for searches
-n,--namesonly
Indicates that only facnames should be printed in a gtkwave
savefile compatible format. By doing this, the file can be used
to specify which traces are to be imported into gtkwave.
-c,--comprehensive
Indicates that results are not to stop after the first match.
This can be used to extract all the matching values in the
trace.
-h,--help
Show help screen.
EXAMPLESvztminer dumpfile.vzt --hex 20470000 -n
This attempts to match the hex value 20470000 across all facilities and
when the value is encountered, the facname only is printed to stdout in
order to generate a gtkwave compatible save file.
LIMITATIONSvztminer only prints the first time a value is encountered for a spe‐
cific net. This is done in order to cut down on the size of output
files and to aid in following data such as addresses through a simula‐
tion model. Note also that the reader algorithm attempts to recon‐
struct bitblasted nets back into their original vectors but this is not
always successful, specifically in the case where the individual bit‐
strands are dumped in non-sequential order.
