NAME

       Verilog::Netlist::Module - Module within a Verilog Netlist

SYNOPSIS

         use Verilog::Netlist;

         ...
         my $module = $netlist->find_module('modname');
         my $cell = $self->find_cell('name')
         my $port =  $self->find_port('name')
         my $net =  $self->find_net('name')

DESCRIPTION

       A Verilog::Netlist::Module object is created by Verilog::Netlist for every module,
       macromodule, primitive or program in the design.

ACCESSORS

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

       $self->cells
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Cell in the module.

       $self->cells_sorted
           Returns list of name sorted references to Verilog::Netlist::Cell in the module.

       $self->comment
           Returns any comments following the definition.  keep_comments=>1 must be passed to
           Verilog::Netlist::new for comments to be retained.

       $self->find_port_by_index
           Returns the port name associated with the given index.  Indexes start at 1 (pin
           numbers are traditionally counted from pin 1..pin N, not starting at zero.  This was
           probably an unfortunate choice, sorry.)

       $self->is_top
           Returns true if the module has no cells referencing it (is at the top of the
           hierarchy.)

       $self->keyword
           Returns the keyword used to declare the module ("module", "macromodule", "primitive"
           or "program".)  It might at first not seem obvious that programs are considered
           modules, but in most cases they contain the same type of objects so can be handled
           identically.

       $self->name
           The name of the module.

       $self->netlist
           Reference to the Verilog::Netlist the module is under.

       $self->nets
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Net in the module.

       $self->nets_sorted
           Returns list of name sorted references to Verilog::Netlist::Net in the module.

       $self->nets_and_ports_sorted
           Returns list of name sorted references to Verilog::Netlist::Net and
           Verilog::Netlist::Port in the module.

       $self->ports
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the module.

       $self->ports_ordered
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the module sorted by pin
           number.

       $self->ports_sorted
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the module sorted by name.

       $self->statements
           Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::ContAssign in the module.  Other
           statement types (Always, etc) may also be added to this list in the future.

       $self->statements_sorted
           Returns list of name sorted references to Verilog::Netlist::ContAssign in the module.
           Other statement types (Always, etc) may also be added to this list in the future.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

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

       $self->find_cell(name)
           Returns Verilog::Netlist::Cell matching given name.

       $self->find_port(name)
           Returns Verilog::Netlist::Port matching given name.

       $self->find_net(name)
           Returns Verilog::Netlist::Net matching given name.

       $self->is_libcell
           Returns if module declared inside a `celldefine.

       $self->level
           Returns the reverse depth of this module with respect to other modules.  Leaf modules
           (modules with no cells) will be level 1.  Modules which instantiate cells of level 1
           will be level 2 modules and so forth.  See also Netlist's modules_sorted_level.

       $self->lint
           Checks the module for errors.

       $self->link
           Creates interconnections between this module and other modules.

       $self->modulename_from_filename
           Uses a rough algorithm (drop the extension) to convert a filename to the module that
           is expected to be inside it.

       $self->new_cell
           Creates a new Verilog::Netlist::Cell.

       $self->new_port
           Creates a new Verilog::Netlist::Port.

       $self->new_net
           Creates a new Verilog::Netlist::Net.

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

       $self->verilog_text
           Returns verilog code which represents this module.  Returned as an array that must be
           joined together to form the final text string.  The netlist must be already ->link'ed
           for this to work correctly.
