gdmexport

gdmexport(
{ G_gdmSpec | q_gdmSpecList }
g_destination
[ g_version ]
[ x_gdmOptions ]
[ g_xtra ]
)
=> t / nil

Description

Exports the library, cell, view, directory, or file that G_gdmSpec represents from the design management system data repository to the destination you specify.

If G_gdmSpec represents a directory that is not a library element, this function works recursively on the directory only if the GDM_RECURSE option was set when G_gdmSpec was created with gdmCreateSpec.

This function is the SKILL equivalent of the gdmexport shell command.

Arguments

G_gdmSpec

The object of the library, cell, view, directory, or file to export.

q_gdmSpecList

A list containing gdmSpec objects.

g_destination

The location, a directory or file, to which to export the files. g_destination can be a file only if you export only one file.

g_version

The version of the files to export.

x_gdmOptions

One of the following integers:

1: Exports all managed files in a view instead of only co-managed view files.

2: Creates the directory tree structure of the source directory in the destination directory.

0: Indicates no options are set. This is the default behavior.

g_xtra

String containing additional arguments to be passed to the underlying export command of the design management system.

Value Returned

t

The files were exported.

nil

An error occurred and the files were not exported.
