Traversing Configurations from the Command-Line

You can also use the command-line interface to traverse the configurations.

The command used to traverse through configuration is as follows:

hedConfigTraverse [-outdir <dir>] [-s <numspaces>] [-min] [-subcfg]

[-cdslib <path>] lib.cell:config [-output <outputPath>][-mlstoplimit <limit>]

where,

-outdir <dir>—Specifies a directory in which the traversal output files are saved. The default directory is ./configTraversals.
-s <numspace>—Specifies the number of spaces for indentation. The default value is 2 and the value ranges from 1 to 8.
-min—Specifies the minimal traversal, which means traversing through hierarchy by avoiding revisits of the instances that have already been visited.
-subcfg—Specifies whether the traversal results for subconfigurations are included in the output file.
-cdslib <path>—Specifies the path from where cdslib file is to be loaded. If this file is not found, the command does not run.
-mlstoplimit <limit>— Specifies the maskLayoutStopLimit value in MB, databases of maskLayout views exceeding the specified limit cannot be opened during config traversal.
{lib.cell:config [-output <outputPath>]}
- lib.cell:config—Specifies an elaborated and traversed configuration view.
- -output <outputPath>—Specifies an output file in which the traversal results are saved. If the output file is not specified, the traversal results are saved in a file in the default output directory.
