NAME

       Verilog::Getopt - Get Verilog command line options

SYNOPSIS

         use Verilog::Getopt;

         my $opt = new Verilog::Getopt;
         $opt->parameter (qw( +incdir+standard_include_directory ));

         @ARGV = $opt->parameter (@ARGV);
         ...
         print "Path to foo.v is ", $opt->file_path('foo.v');

DESCRIPTION

       Verilog::Getopt provides standardized handling of options similar to Verilog/VCS and
       cc/GCC.

OPTIONS

       The new() constructor accepts the following options:

       filename_expansion=>1
           Enable converting filenames to relative filenames when possible.  This option is
           needed when the -F option will be used.  If flags are passed through Getopt which
           should otherwise not be expanded (e.g. "--out myfile.v") having this option set may
           undesirably expand myfile.v to an absolute filename.

       gcc_style=>0
           Disable parsing of GCC-like parameters.

       vcs_style=>0
           Disable parsing of VCS-like parameters.

METHODS

       $opt = Verilog::Getopt->new ( opts )
           Create a new Getopt.  See OPTIONS above.

       $self->file_path ( filename, [lookup_type] )
           Returns a new path to the filename, using the library directories and search paths to
           resolve the file.  Optional lookup_type is 'module', 'include', or 'all', to use only
           module_dirs, incdirs, or both for the lookup.

       $self->get_parameters ( )
           Returns a list of parameters that when passed through $self->parameter() should result
           in the same state.  Often this is used to form command lines for downstream programs
           that also use Verilog::Getopt.

       $self->parameter ( \@params )
           Parses any recognized parameters in the referenced array, removing the standard
           parameters and returning a array with all unparsed parameters.

           The below list shows the VCS-like parameters that are supported, and the functions
           that are called:

               +libext+I<ext>+I<ext>...    libext (I<ext>)
               +incdir+I<dir>              incdir (I<dir>)
               +define+I<var>[+=]I<value>  define (I<var>,I<value>)
               +define+I<var>              define (I<var>,undef)
               +librescan          Ignored
               -F I<file>          Parse parameters in file relatively
               -f I<file>          Parse parameters in file
               -v I<file>          library (I<file>)
               -y I<dir>           module_dir (I<dir>)
               all others          Put in returned list

           The below list shows the GCC-like parameters that are supported, and the functions
           that are called:

               -DI<var>=I<value>           define (I<var>,I<value>)
               -DI<var>            define (I<var>,undef)
               -UI<var>            undefine (I<var>)
               -II<dir>            incdir (I<dir>)
               -F I<file>          Parse parameters in file relatively
               -f I<file>          Parse parameters in file
               all others          Put in returned list

       $self->write_parameters_file ( filename )
           Write the output from get_parameters to the specified file.

ACCESSORS

       $self->define ( $token, $value )
           This method is called when a define is recognized.  The default behavior loads a hash
           that is used to fulfill define references.  This function may also be called outside
           parsing to predefine values.

           An optional third argument specifies parameters to the define, and a fourth argument
           if true indicates the define was set on the command line and should not be removed by
           `undefineall.

       $self->define_names_sorted
           Return sorted list of all define names that currently exist.

       $self->defparams ( $token )
           This method returns the parameter list of the define.  This will be defined, but
           false, if the define does not have arguments.

       $self->defvalue ( $token )
           This method returns the value of a given define, or prints a warning.

       $self->defvalue_nowarn ( $token )
           This method returns the value of a given define, or undef.

       $self->depend_files ()
           Returns reference to list of filenames referenced with file_path, useful for creating
           dependency lists.  With argument, adds that file.  With list reference argument, sets
           the list to the argument.

       $self->file_abs ( $filename )
           Using the incdir and libext lists, convert the specified module or filename ("foo") to
           a absolute filename ("include/dir/foo.v").

       $self->file_skip_special ( $filename )
           Return true if the filename is one that generally should be ignored when recursing
           directories, such as for example, ".", "CVS", and ".svn".

       $self->file_substitute ( $filename )
           Removes existing environment variables from the provided filename.  Any undefined
           variables are not substituted nor cause errors.

       $self->incdir ()
           Returns reference to list of include directories.  With argument, adds that directory.

       $self->libext ()
           Returns reference to list of library extensions.  With argument, adds that extension.

       $self->libext_matches (filename)
           Returns true if the passed filename matches the libext.

       $self->library ()
           Returns reference to list of libraries.  With argument, adds that library.

       $self->module_dir ()
           Returns reference to list of module directories.  With argument, adds that directory.

       $self->remove_defines ( $token )
           Return string with any definitions in the token removed.

       $self->undef ( $token )
           Deletes a hash element that is used to fulfill define references.  This function may
           also be called outside parsing to erase a predefined value.

       $self->undefineall ()
           Deletes all non-command line definitions, for implementing `undefineall.
