h_configId

The ID of the configuration that is opened in write or append mode; the return value of hdbOpen.

g_specifier

A list of lists specifying the cell, instance, or occurrence on which to set the binding rule.

To set a binding rule on a cell, specify a list that contains a single list of four elements:

 ((lib cell nil nil))

Here,

• Value of lib is a string or nil to indicate that the library list should be used to locate the specified cell.
• cell is a required string.

Example:

   (("lib1" "cell1" nil nil))

Sets a binding rule on the cell lib1.cell1.

To set a binding rule on an instance, specify a list that contains a single list of four elements:

((lib cell view instance))

Here,

• Value of lib is a string or nil to indicate that the library list should be used to locate the specified cell.
• cell is a required string
• Value of view is a string or nil to indicate that the view should be determined using the view list.
• instance is a required string.

Example:

   (("lib1" "cell1" "view1" "inst1"))   

Sets a binding rule on instance (lib1.cell1.view1).inst1.

To set a binding rule on an occurrence, specify a list of lists, each of which must have a library, cell, view, and instance. The list specifies the path to the occurrence, beginning with the top design.

((lib cell view inst) (lib cell view inst) ...)

g_rule

One of the following rules:

Library list

(’hdbcLibListRule ("lib1" "lib2" "lib3" ...))

View list

(’hdbcViewListRule ("view1" "view2" "view3" ...))

Binding

(’hdbcBindingRule ("lib "cell" "view"))

where lib, cell, or view can also be nil. For example:

(’hdbcBindingRule ("lib1 "cell1" "view1"))
(’hdbcBindingRule (nil "cell1" "view1"))
(’hdbcBindingRule (nil nil "view1"))

Note: When setting a binding rule on an occurrence (path), all fields must be specified in the rule. For example,

rule = list (’hdbcBindingRule list ("worklib" "subsub" "schematic2"))

Stop list

(’hdbcStopRule t)

To delete a rule, specify nil as the second element of the list. For example: (’hdbcStopRule nil)

t

The binding is set or deleted.

nil

There was an error.
