34 NAME
35 vcd2lxt2 - Converts VCD files to LXT2 files
37 SYNTAX
38 vcd2lxt2 [option]... [VCDFILE] [LXTFILE]
40 DESCRIPTION
41 Converts VCD files to LXT2 files.
43 OPTIONS
44 -v,--vcdname &lt;filename&gt;
45 Specify VCD input filename.
47 -l,--lxtname &lt;filename&gt;
48 Specify LXT2 output filename.
50 -d,--depth &lt;value&gt;
51 Specify 0..9 gzip compression depth, default is 4.
53 -m,--maxgranule &lt;value&gt;
54 Specify number of granules per section, default is 8. One gran-
55 ule is equal to 32 timsteps.
57 -b,--break &lt;value&gt;
58 Specify break size (default = 0 = off). When the break size is
59 exceeded, the LXT2 dumper will dump all state information at the
60 next convenient granule plus dictionary boundary.
62 -p,--partialmode &lt;mode&gt;
63 Specify partial zip mode 0 = monolithic, 1 = separation. Using
64 a value of 1 expands LXT2 filesize but provides fast access for
65 very large traces. Note that the default mode is neither mono-
66 lithic nor separation: partial zip is disabled.
68 -c,--checkpoint &lt;mode&gt;
69 Specify checkpoint mode. 0 is on which is default, and 1 is
70 off. This is disabled when the break size is active.
72 -h,--help
73 Show help screen.
77 EXAMPLES
79 Note that you should specify dumpfile.vcd directly or use &quot;-&quot; for
80 stdin.
82 vcd2lxt dumpfile.vcd dumpfile.lxt --depth 9 --break 1073741824
83 This sets the compression level to 9 and sets the break size to
84 1GB.
86 vcd2lxt dumpfile.vcd dumpfile.lxt --depth 9 --maxgranule 256
87 Allows more granules per section which allows for greater com-
88 pression.
90 LIMITATIONS
91 vcd2lxt2 does not store glitches as these are coalesced together into
92 one value change during the writing of the LXT2 file.
