Arguments

d_cellId

Specifies the ID of the cell for which the split-primary symbol is to be generated.

Value Returned

t

nil

Returns nil if:

  • the cell directory is read-only.
  • the symbol view directory is read-only.
  • there exists a user-defined view by the name symbol.
  • the symbol view is locked by another process when the specified cellview remains unchanged.
