NAME

       vztminer - Data mining of VZT files

SYNTAX

       vztminer [option]... [VZTFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Mines VZT files for specific data values and generates gtkwave save files to stdout for future reload.

OPTIONS

       -d,--dumpfile <filename>
              Specify VZT input dumpfile.

       -m,--match <value>
              Specifies "bitwise" match data (binary, real, string)

       -x,--hex <value>
              Specifies hexadecimal match data that will automatically be converted to binary for searches

       -n,--namesonly
              Indicates  that only facnames should be printed in a gtkwave savefile compatible format.  By doing
              this, the file can be used to specify which traces are to be imported into gtkwave.

       -c,--comprehensive
              Indicates that results are not to stop after the first match.  This can be used to extract all the
              matching values in the trace.

       -h,--help
              Show help screen.

EXAMPLES

       vztminer dumpfile.vzt --hex 20470000 -n

       This  attempts  to  match the hex value 20470000 across all facilities and when the value is encountered,
       the facname only is printed to stdout in order to generate a gtkwave compatible save file.

LIMITATIONS

       vztminer only prints the first time a value is encountered for a specific net.  This is done in order  to
       cut  down on the size of output files and to aid in following data such as addresses through a simulation
       model.  Note also that the reader algorithm attempts to  reconstruct  bitblasted  nets  back  into  their
       original  vectors  but  this  is  not  always  successful,  specifically in the case where the individual
       bitstrands are dumped in non-sequential order.
