|
xcontrol [-macro | -regular | -device | -library | -remote] |
|
[-strict | -free | -freemasks[:mask,..]] [-v] cell... |
|
xcontrol -cleanup [-v] [cell...] |

|
|
xcontrol -liste |
[ct] [it] [cell... | -cl | -icl | -obs | -new | -old] |
|
-macro |
Set the extraction state to Macro. |
||
|
-regular |
Set the extraction state to Regular. |
||
|
-device |
Set the extraction state to Device. |
||
|
-library |
Set the extraction state to Library. |
||
|
-remote |
Set the extraction state of imported cells to remote state. |
||
|
-strict |
Set the interface type to Strict. |
||
|
-free |
Set the interface type to Free. |
||
|
-freemasks |
Set the interface type to Freemasks. When no masklist is specified, old masklist of entry is used. |
||
|
-cleanup |
Remove (all) obsolete cell entries from xcontrol file. |
||
|
-convert |
Convert format of extraction state information in the project. |
||
|
-default |
Set (all) cells to the default status. |
||
|
-list |
List the extraction state of the database cells. When option 'ct' is specified, only of that celltype. When option 'it' is specified, only of that interfacetype. |
||
|
-liste |
List only the entries of cells in the xcontrol file. |
||
|
-cl |
List only celllist (local) cells. |
||
|
-icl |
List only impcelllist (imported) cells. |
||
|
-obs |
List only obsolete cell entries. |
||
|
-new |
List only newest cell entries. |
||
|
-old |
List only oldest cell entries. |
||
|
-v |
Set verbose mode. |
|
xcontrol is a program that sets or reads the extraction state of the cells that are local or imported from another project. Note that the requested set action takes always place and touches the timestamp of the cell entry. When the option -list without a cell is specified, all cells in the project and their extraction state will be shown. When the option -convert is specified, the dataformat of
the extraction state information of the cells that are
present in the IC design database is converted. |

The first example converts the current (old) database project into the (new) xcontrol format: % xcontrol -convert The second example sets the celltype "macro" of two cells: % xcontrol -macro inv oscil The third example sets the interfacetype "freemasks" with 3 masks (the masks have to be in the project) of the cell oscil: % xcontrol -freemasks:cpg,caa,cmf oscil The fourth example sets the celltype "device" and the interfacetype "free" of 2 cells verbose: % xcontrol -device -free -v term3 poly5 term3 Device Free Jun 13 15:00:12 2000 poly5 Device Free Jun 13 15:00:12 2000 The fifth example lists all cells in the actual project with their extraction state. The first row is the cellname, the second the celltype, the third the interfacetype and the fourth the last date of change. If the interfacetype is Freemasks, the masks of this cell are written just on the next line. % xcontrol -list local cells: aa C Regular Strict No status found inv L Macro Strict Jun 13 14:49:57 2000 oscil L Macro Freemasks Jun 13 14:51:02 2000 Mask(s): cpg cca cmf poly5 LC Device Free Jun 13 15:00:12 2000 term3 LC Device Free Jun 13 15:00:12 2000 imported cells: rc1 L Regular Strict Jun 13 14:47:38 2000 rc2 LC Regular Strict Jun 13 14:47:38 2000 The sixth example sets all local and imported cells to default. The local cells are set to regular, strict and the imported cells are set to the status from the imported project. % xcontrol -default |
