Description

This function is being maintained only to support backward compatibility. Cadence recommends that you use lxRunCmdInXL instead. If you were to use lxRunCmdInVXL, use it to run a user-supplied command in Layout XL, with CPH and the Binder enabled, without opening the windows. The PhysConfig used is obtained from the layout cellview. If you want to work in Automatic mode, the schematic cellview, an optional argument, is required. The batch function does not work with the following: Interactive editing, Incremental binding, and Incremental extraction.

Arguments

d_layCV	ID of the layout cellview.
u_cmd	The command symbol.
g_cmdArgs	The list of command arguments. If no arguments are required, provide nil.
`?schCV d_schCV`	A schematic cellview ID to be used to run the command in Automatic mode. This is an optional argument.

Value Returned

`t`	Command ran successfully.
`nil`	Error in command.
Return value from supplied command
	Return value based on the SKILL command provided by the user.
