Command Line Options¶

Verilog Translator handles the following command line options:

Long name	Short name	Description	Default value, if applicable
--include-path	-I	Include directories	-
--library-file	-L	Library file	-

Include directories¶

The option sets the directories where VeriTrans searches for Verilog files included from others. Multiple paths are separated by : (for Unix) or ; (for Windows).

When a.v uses something defined in b.v (located at /absolute/path/to), there may be the following situations:

• a.v does not contain `include "b.v":
  • both files should be given to VeriTrans;
  • b.v comes first;
  • --include-path is not required;
• a.v contains `include "b.v":
  • the path /absolute/path/to should be added to --include-path;
• a.v contains `include "path/to/b.v":
  • the path /absolute should be added to --include-path.

Library file¶

The option sets the library file that declares names of non-standard system tasks and functions. The file has the following structure:

<kind> (<type>)? <name>
...
<kind> (<type>)? <name>

where

• <kind> is either function or task;
• <type> is the return type (only for functions);
• <name> is the entity name.

Here is an example:

function [3:0] $myFunction
task $myTask
