q_src

Sources gdmSpecList object containing the gdmSpec objects you want to expand. Each gdmSpec object represents a library, cell, or view.

s_expFlag

Expands the flag options. Can be one of the following predefined symbols:

• CCP_EXPAND_COMANAGED: Expands a directory and includes only the coManaged and alsoManaged files, which are defined in the dataReg.

Some applications have co-managed files stored at different directory levels. These co-managed files will also be included for copy.

The prop.xx file, which is invalid in OpenAccess libraries, is no longer automatically included in co-managed sets.

• CCP_EXPAND_ALL: Expands everything in a directory.

l_expandViewTypeList

Lists string specifying the view types to be expanded. If the list is empty, includes all view types in the hierarchy.

This argument is optional; its default value is nil.

l_expandViewNameList

Lists view names to be expanded. If the list is empty, includes all view names in the hierarchy.

This argument is optional; its default value is nil.

t_vNameSimExp

Specifies the views to expand.

t_vNameSpace

The name space in which the arguments t_vNameSimExp and l_expandViewNameList are provided. Can be one of the following strings: VHDL, Verilog, Verilog-A, CDBA, Concept, Library, LibraryUnix, or LibraryNT..

g_addProp

Copies files from library and cell property. It is recommended that you use nil for this argument because of potential conflicts between property files. Properties are usually added by the copy updaters. Default is nil.

g_existenceCheck

Sets a flag for the Virtuoso post-copy updater to validate the existence of layers, purposes, viaDefs, and siteDefs in the technology database of the destination library after the copy command is completed. Default is 0.

This argument is typically used with the copy functions and is not needed for expansion functions.

g_reReferenceCustomVias

Sets a flag for the Virtuoso post-copy updater to update custom via definitions to point to cellviews in the destination library. Default is 0.

q_expSpecList

A gdmSpecList object containing gdmSpec objects for the files in the expansion list.

nil

The source objects could not be expanded.
