Voneline Examples ¶

With the following Verilog input:

`define foo bar
module test;
   input a,b,c,
     d,
     e,
     f;
   cell1
     cell1
       (
    .a(a), .b(b),
    .c(c));
   cell2 cell2 (.a(a));
   cell3 cell3 (.a(a));
    endmodule

Voneline produces:

`define foo bar
 module test;
 input a,b,c, d, e, f;
 cell1 cell1 ( .a(a), .b(b), .c(c));
 cell2 cell2 (.a(a));
 cell3 cell3 (.a(a)); 
 endmodule

It's now easier to find or remove a cell with a "grep cell1".

Introduction to Voneline ¶

Written by Wilson Snyder <wsnyder@wsnyder.org>.

Summary¶

Voneline is a pipe filter which takes Verilog structural netlists in stdin. It changes the whitespace to have a single instantiation per line. This compresses the file, and makes it easy to parse with other programs such as grep and Perl.

NAME

voneline - Put one Verilog structural instantion per line

SYNOPSIS

  voneline < <infile> > <outfile>

DESCRIPTION

Voneline is a filter which takes Verilog structural netlists in stdin. It changes the whitespace to have a single instantiation per line. This compresses the file, and makes it easy to grep for instantiations.

ARGUMENTS

--version: Print program version and exit.
--width number: By default, voneline will create lines that fit an entire instantiation and are too long for other tools. With --width, the next comma after that column will appear on the next line. (So choose a width a few hundred characters shorter then the tool's maximum.)
