NAME

       Verilog::Netlist::Interface - Interface within a Verilog Netlist

SYNOPSIS

         use Verilog::Netlist;

         ...
         my $interface = $netlist->find_interface('name');
         my $cell = $self->find_cell('name')
         my $port =  $self->find_port('name')
         my $net =  $self->find_net('name')

DESCRIPTION

       A Verilog::Netlist::Interface object is created by Verilog::Netlist for every interface in
       the design.

ACCESSORS

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

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

       $self->find_port_by_index
           Returns the port name associated with the given index.

       $self->modports
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::ModPort in the interface.

       $self->modports_sorted
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::ModPort in the interface sorted by
           name.

       $self->name
           The name of the interface.

       $self->netlist
           Reference to the Verilog::Netlist the interface is under.

       $self->nets
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Net in the interface.

       $self->nets_sorted
           Returns list of name sorted references to Verilog::Netlist::Net in the interface.

       $self->nets_and_ports_sorted
           Returns list of name sorted references to Verilog::Netlist::Net and
           Verilog::Netlist::Port in the interface.

       $self->ports
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the interface.

       $self->ports_ordered
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the interface sorted by pin
           number.

       $self->ports_sorted
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the interface sorted by name.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

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

       $self->find_net(name)
           Returns Verilog::Netlist::Net matching given name.

       $self->level
           Returns the reverse depth of this interface with respect to other modules and
           interfaces.  See also Netlist's modules_sorted_level.

       $self->lint
           Checks the interface for errors.

       $self->link
           Creates interconnections between this interface and other interfaces.

       $self->new_net
           Creates a new Verilog::Netlist::Net.

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

       $self->verilog_text
           Returns verilog code which represents this interface.  Returned as an array that must
           be joined together to form the final text string.  The netlist must be already
           ->link'ed for this to work correctly.
