d_techID
t_deviceName 
t_viewName
)
=> l_paramValue / nil

Description

Returns a list of the names and values of the formal parameters defined for the specified device from the specified technology database. ASCII technology file location: devices section.

For more information about the devices section, refer to "Technology File Devices" in the Virtuoso Technology Data ASCII Files Reference.

Arguments

d_techID	The database identifier of the technology database.
t_deviceName	The name of the device.
t_viewName	The view name on which the device is defined.

Value Returned

l_paramValue	A list of formal parameter name and default pairs. The list has the following syntax: ( ( t_paramName g_paramValue )… ) where, t_paramName is the name of the formal parameter. g_paramValue is the value assigned to the parameter when the device was created.
nil	The technology database does not exist or the device is not defined.
