NAME
       verga - VERrilog simulator for tkGAte


SYNOPSIS
       verga [-eslqi] [-d dtype] [-S script] [-P mods] [-t mod] [-B dir] [-D hash] [-W wmode] [files...]


DESCRIPTION
       Verga  is  a  verilog simulator designed to be used with tkgate, but it can also be used as a stand-alone
       simulator.

       Verga documentation can be found at:

       http://www.tkgate.org


OPTIONS
       The options are as follows:

       -e             Dump the list of error codes and associated messages that can be produced by verga.   This
                      option is primarily for developer purposes.

       -s             Scan  a  Verilog  file  and output information about its modules and nets.  This option is
                      primarily used internally by tkgate.

       -l             Show the verga license.

       -q             Run in 'quiet' mode, suppressing extraneous messages.

       -i             Run in 'interactive' mode.  This mode is intended primarily for use when  verga  is  being
                      invoked by tkgate.

       -d dtype       Type of delays to use.  Can be 'min', 'max' or 'typical'.

       -S script      Load simulation scripts for each '-S' switch.

       -P mod         Print the named module from the parsed structure for each '-P' specified.

       -t mod         Override the default and designate 'mod' as the top-level module.

       -B dir         Directory to use as base directory when loading files

       -D hash        Delete the input files after loading if 'hash' exactly matches a hash code computed on the
                      file name.  This option should only be used by tkgate which writes the file to simulate to
                      a temporary file before invoking the simulator.

       -W wmode       Mode for warning message handling.  Can be 1 for "ignore warnings", 2 for "report warnings
                      only if there were errors", 3 for  "always  report  warnings"  or  4  for  "always  report
                      warnings and stop simulator even if only warnings".


HISTORY & CREDITS
       TkGate  begin life as an undergraduate project at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in 1987.  At that time
       it was called simply 'gate' and ran under the 'wm' window manager, a windowing system  developed  at  CMU
       before  X11  was  widely  used.  In this incarnation it was used by students in the computer architecture
       course at CMU to develop a simple microprocessor (dubbed "The Bat Computer").  After laying  dormant  for
       several  years,  it  was  resurrected  in  1991  and  ported to run under X11 with the Xlib API.  In this
       incarnation it was used several times by students in the introductory digital logic course, but after the
       author  graduated  and  left  CMU,  it went into hibernation again.  This Tcl/Tk incarnation was begun in
       1998.  While there is certainly some cruftyness in the implementation  in  places  due  to  the  multiple
       reincarnations,  many new features have been added since the older wm and X11 versions, and the interface
       has been made much easier to use.
