  34 NAME
  35        gtkwave - Visualization tool for VCD, LXT, and VZT files

  37 SYNTAX
  38        gtkwave [option]... [DUMPFILE] [SAVEFILE] [RCFILE]

  41 DESCRIPTION
  42        Visualization  tool  for  VCD,  LXT, LXT2, and VZT.  VCD is an industry
  43        standard simulation dump format. LXT, LXT2, and VZT have been  designed
  44        specifically for use with gtkwave.  Native dumpers exist in Icarus Ver-
  45        ilog for the LXT formats so conversion with vcd2lxt(1)  or  vcd2lxt2(1)
  46        is  not  necessary to take direct advantage of LXT with that simulator.
  47        AET2 files can also be processed provided that  libae2rw  is  available
  48        but this is only of interest to people who use IBM EDA toolsets.
  49
  50 OPTIONS
  51        -n,--nocli &lt;directory name&gt;
  52               Use file requester for dumpfile name
  53
  54        -f,--dump &lt;filename&gt;
  55               Specify dumpfile name.
  56
  57        -r,--rcfile &lt;filename&gt;
  58               Specify override .gtkwaverc filename.
  59
  60        -i,--indirect &lt;filename&gt;
  61               Specify  indirect facs file name.  The file contains a series of
  62               regular expressions used to limit what signals can  be  browsed.
  63               Signal  names which match any of the regular expressions will be
  64               viewable.  Typically, indirect files are used to  reduce  memory
  65               requirements  for  extremely large models containing millions of
  66               facilities or to strip  out  top-level  hierarchy  clutter  from
  67               BugSpray  models.   This feature is only available with the AET2
  68               loader.
  69
  70        -l,--logfile &lt;filename&gt;
  71               Specify simulation logfile name.  Multiple logfiles may be spec-
  72               ified  by  preceeding  each with the command flag.  By selecting
  73               the numbers in the text widget, the marker will immediately zoom
  74               to the specific time value.
  75
  76        -d,--defaultskip
  77               If  there is not a .gtkwaverc file in the home directory or cur-
  78               rent directory and it is not explicitly specified on the command
  79               line,  when  this option is enabled, do not use an implicit con-
  80               figuration file and instead default  to  the  old  &quot;whitescreen&quot;
  81               behavior.
  82
  83        -s,--start &lt;time&gt;
  84               Specify start time for LXT2/VZT block skip.
  85
  86        -e,--end &lt;time&gt;
  87               Specify end time for LXT2/VZT block skip.
  88
  89        -c,--cpu &lt;numcpus&gt;
  90               Specify  number  of CPUs available for parallelizable ops (e.g.,
  91               block prefetching on VZT reads).
  92
  93        -v,--vcd
  94               Use stdin as a VCD dumpfile.
  95
  96        -V,--version
  97               Display version banner then exit.
  98
  99        -h,--help
 100               Display help then exit.
 101
 102        -x,--exit
 103               Exit after loading trace (for loader benchmarking).
 104
 105 FILES
 106        ~/.gtkwaverc

 109 EXAMPLES
 110        To run this program the standard way type:
 111               gtkwave dumpfile.vcd
 112
 113        Alternatively you can run it with a save file as:
 114               gtkwave dumpfile.vcd dumpfile.sav
 115
 116        Command line options are not necessary for representing  the  dumpfile,
 117        savefile, and rcfile names.  They are merely provided to allow specify-
 118        ing them out of order.  Note that on non-glibc systems, the  long  com-
 119        mand  line  options  will not be available and that the short ones will
 120        have to be used instead.
