hnlWriteMap

hnlWriteMap(
)
=> t / nil

Description

Saves the name map tables in a file specified in an earlier call to the hnlInitMap function. This function takes no arguments.

The syntax of the map file cannot be relied upon because it is subject to change without notice. Always use Cadence-supplied access functions to translate names.

With the Incremental Hierarchical Netlister (IHNL), you can design a formatter that netlists incrementally. An incremental formatter checks each cellview in the design and netlists only the cellviews that the designer has modified since the previous netlisting. IHNL is only an option to HNL; it is not a separate netlister. It is important that you read the basic HNL documentation first, before reading this section, which describes only additional functionality to allow your formatter to be used in the incremental netlisting mode. For simplicity, IHNL will be referred to as the hierarchical netlister running with the incremental feature.
