NAME

       Verilog::Netlist::Port - Port for a Verilog Module

SYNOPSIS

         use Verilog::Netlist;

         ...
         my $port = $module->find_port ('pinname');
         print $port->name;

DESCRIPTION

       A Verilog::Netlist::Port object is created by Verilog::Netlist::Module for every port
       connection in the module.

ACCESSORS

       See also Verilog::Netlist::Subclass for additional accessors and methods.

       $self->array
           Any array declaration for the port.  This only applies to Verilog 1995 style ports
           which can declare port bits independently from the signal declarations.  When using
           Verilog 2001 style ports, see the matching net declaration's lsb and msb methods
           instead, for example "$module-"find_net($port->name)->msb>.

       $self->comment
           Returns any comments following the definition.  keep_comments=>1 must be passed to
           Verilog::Netlist::new for comments to be retained.

       $self->data_type
           The SystemVerilog data type of the port.

       $self->direction
           The direction of the port: "in", "out", or "inout".

       $self->module
           Reference to the Verilog::Netlist::Module the port is in.

       $self->name
           The name of the port.

       $self->net
           Reference to the Verilog::Netlist::Net the port connects to.  Only valid after the
           netlist is linked.

       $self->type
           Approximately an alias of data_type for backward compatibility.  Do not use for new
           applications.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

       See also Verilog::Netlist::Subclass for additional accessors and methods.

       $self->dump
           Prints debugging information for this port.
