NAME

       Verilog::Netlist::Net - Net for a Verilog Module

SYNOPSIS

         use Verilog::Netlist;

         ...
         my $net = $module->find_net('signalname');
         print $net->name;

DESCRIPTION

       A Verilog::Netlist::Net object is created by Verilog::Netlist::Module for every signal and
       input/output declaration, and parameter in the current module.

ACCESSORS

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

       $self->array
           Any array (vector) declaration for the net.  This is for Verilog 2001 multidimensional
           signals; for the width of a signal, use msb/lsb/width. For newer applications use
           data_type() as it supports SystemVerilog types.

       $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 data type of the net.  This may be a data type keyword ("integer", "logic", etc),
           user defined type from a type def, a range ("[11:0]", "signed [1:0]" or "" for an
           implicit wire.

       $self->decl_type
           How the net was declared.  A declaration keyword ("genvar", "localparam", "parameter",
           "var") or "port" if only as a port - and see the port method, or "net" - and see the
           net_type method.

       $self->module
           Reference to the Verilog::Netlist::Module or Verilog::Netlist::Interface the net is
           under.

       $self->lsb
           The least significant bit number of the net.

       $self->msb
           The most significant bit number of the net.

       $self->name
           The name of the net.

       $self->net_type
           The net type, if one applies.  Always a net type keyword ('supply0', 'supply1', 'tri',
           'tri0', 'tri1', 'triand', 'trior', 'trireg', 'wand', 'wire', 'wor').

       $self->type
           The type function is provided for backward compatibility to Verilog-Perl versions
           before 3.200. Applications should change to use data_type() and/or decl_type()
           instead.

           The type function returns an agglomeration of data_type, net_type and decl_type that
           worked ok in Verilog, but does not work with SystemVerilog.  Calls to type() will be
           converted to calls to data_type, decl_type or net_type in a way that attempts to
           maintain backward compatibility, however compatibility is not always possible.

       $self->value
           If the net's type is 'parameter', the value from the parameter's declaration.

       $self->width
           The width of the net in bits.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

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

       $self->lint
           Checks the net for errors.  Normally called by Verilog::Netlist::lint.

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

       $self->dump_drivers
           Prints debugging information for this net, and all pins driving the net.
