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.
