Command Line Options¶

Verilog Translator provides the following command line options:

Long name	Short name	Description	Default value
--include-path	-I	Include directory path	-

Detailed notes about described options are written below.

Include directory path¶

The option is used to provide to the tool the path to directory where Verilog modules that the target one uses are located. Multiple paths are always allowed - in such case the should be separated by system separator (":" for Unix, ";" for Windows).

When a.v module uses module that is described at b.v file, following situations are available:

1. The a.v file does not contain "`include" macro - no '--include-dir' option should be used, both modules should be given to Verilog Translator and b.v should be the first one;
2. The a.v file contains "`include "b.v"" macro - set full path to directory with b.v to '--include-dir' option;
3. The a.v file contains "`include "/relative/path/to/b.v"" macro - set prefix to path to directory with b.v to '--include-dir' option.
