NAME

       vcd2fst - Converts VCD files to FST files

SYNTAX

       vcd2fst [option]... [VCDFILE] [FSTFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Converts VCD files to FST files.

OPTIONS

       -v,--vcdname <filename>
              Specify  VCD/FSDB/VPD/WLF  input  filename.  Processing of filetypes other than VCD
              requires that the appropriate 2vcd converter was found during ./configure.

       -f,--fstname <filename>
              Specify FST output filename.

       -4,--fourpack
              Indicates that LZ4 should be used for value change data (default).

       -F,--fastpack
              Indicates that fastlz should be used instead of LZ4 for value change data.

       -4,--zlibpack
              Indicates that zlib should be used instead of LZ4 for value change data.

       -c,--compress
              Indicates that the entire file should be run through gzip on close.   This  results
              in  much  smaller  files at the expense of a one-time decompression penalty on file
              open during reads.

       -p,--parallel
              Indicates that parallel mode should be enabled.  This spawns  a  worker  thread  to
              continue  with  FST  block processing while conversion continues on the main thread
              for new FST block data.

       -h,--help
              Show help screen.

       EXAMPLES

       Note that you should specify dumpfile.vcd directly or use "-" for stdin.

       vcd2fst dumpfile.vcd dumpfile.fst --compress
              This indicates that the FST file should be post-compressed on close.
