=> g_pinList

t_cellName	Cell containing the maskLayout cellview to translate; must be enclosed in quotation marks.
t_viewName	View containing the maskLayout cellview to translate; must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Value Returned

g_pinList

Terminal and property information organized in a pin list.

Examples

pinList = schLayoutToPinList( myLib myDesign layout )

where

pinList = ‘( nil ports (( nil name "a" direction "input" )
    ( nil name "b" direction "input" )
    ( nil name "c" direction "output" )
    )
)

The pin list format represents all the terminals and properties and is stored in a disembodied property list with the following format:

g_pinList = ‘( nil ports portList
     [prop proplist] )
portlist = ( termDef termDef...termDef )
termDef = (nil name termName
     direction termDir
     [prop propList]
     [pins termPins]
     )
proplist = ( nil propName propValue
     propName propValue
     ...
     )
termPins = ( pinDef pinDef...pinDef )
pinDef =  ( nil name pinName [accessDir accessDir] )
