Name Mapping Functions

---

This topic provides a list of basic editing Cadence® SKILL functions associated with Name Mapping. These functions have the prefix nmp.

You can use nmp functions to:

• Get a list of all current name spaces
• Check if an identifier is legal in a name space
• Map an identifier from one name space to another name space
• Map an identifier from a name space to an nmp Ident
  An nmp Ident is an opaque data structure that is the intermediate form to which identifiers are mapped when they are translated from one name space to another.
• Map an nmp Ident to a name space

Only the functions listed here are supported for public use. All other functions, regardless of their name or prefix, and undocumented aspects of the functions described below, are private and are subject to change at any time.

• nmp<NameSpace>To<NameSpace>
• nmp<NameSpace>ToIdent
• nmpGetSpaceNames
• nmpIdentTo<NameSpace>
• nmpIsLegal<NameSpace>
• nmpPath<NameSpace>To<NameSpace>
