DESCRIPTION

       flatbeh  synthetize a VHDL behavioral data-flow description from a structural description.
       It flattens the structural description (it can be a hierarchy of macro  block)  until  the
       cells  which  have  a behavioral description. Then it raise all the equations and create a
       behavioral description of the root file.

PARAMETERS

       root_structural_file is the filename of the root of the structural description file.

       output_file is the destination filename for behavioural description.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       MBK_CATA_LIB        list of directories containing descriptions.  The default path is  the
                           current directory (see mbk(1)).

       MBK_CATAL_NAME      Indicates  the  file where the behavioral description files are given.
                           This serves to flatbeh to stop the  flatten  of  the  structural  root
                           circuit.(see mbk(1))

       MBK_IN_LO           file extension for structural entity. (see mbk(1))

EXAMPLE

       flatbeh adder_32
