tcRegPostDumpTrigger

tcRegPostDumpTrigger(
s_function
[ x_priority ]
) 
=> t / nil

Description

Registers a trigger function the system calls after it dumps a technology database. The s_function argument is a SKILL procedure with three arguments: the database identifier of the technology database, the port (or print destination) for the dump file, and the name of the dump file. Trigger functions are called in order of priority, with 0 having the highest priority. If you do not specify a priority argument, the default is the lowest priority (that is, it is executed after any other trigger function that specifies a priority).

Arguments

s_function	Symbol indicating the name of the trigger function. The format is as follows: function( d_techID p_port t_dumpName ) => t / nil where, d_techID is the database identifier of the technology database. p_port is the port for the dump file. (You can use the infile function to get port data for a file.) t_dumpName is the name of the dump file.
x_priority	Priority of this trigger function. Valid values: Any integer

Value Returned

t	The trigger function is registered.
nil	The SKILL procedure does not exist or is incomplete; the trigger function did not register.
