Netlist(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Netlist(3)NAMESystemC::Netlist - SystemC Netlist
SYNOPSIS
use SystemC::Netlist;
# See Verilog::Netlist for base functions
$nl->autos();
$nl->exit_if_error();
DESCRIPTIONSystemC::Netlist contains interconnect information about a whole design
database. The classes of SystemC::Netlist parallel those of
Verilog::Netlist, which should be seen for all documentation.
The database is composed of files, which contain the text read from
each file.
A file may contain modules, which are individual blocks that can be
instantiated (designs, in Synopsys terminology.)
Modules have ports, which are the interconnection between nets in that
module and the outside world. Modules also have nets, (aka signals),
which interconnect the logic inside that module.
Modules can also instantiate other modules. The instantiation of a
module is a Cell. Cells have pins that interconnect the referenced
module's pin to a net in the module doing the instantiation.
Each of these types, files, modules, ports, nets, cells and pins have a
class. For example SystemC::Netlist::Cell has the list of
SystemC::Netlist::Pin (s) that interconnect that cell.
FUNCTIONS
See Verilog::Netlist for all common functions.
