Arguments

t_libName	The library name of the cellview.
t_cellName	The cell name.

The available options are: nil: The session will be opened either for editing or as read-only depending on whether the cellview is editable or not. r: The session will be opened as read-only. w: The session will be opened with write-access. This will create a new cellview if it does not exist, or overwrite an existing cellview. a: The session will be opened for edit.
?openWindow g_openWindow
	Boolean to specify whether to open a window in the cellview or not. If it is nil then no window is opened, but the session is still opened in non-graphical mode. The default value is t.

nil	The specified cellview does not open successfully.

Examples

The following example opens a Verifier cellview in a window.

sess = verifOpenCellView("test" "sample" "verifier")
=> 0

If a window is already open, the function brings the window to the front and returns the session ID.

sess2 = verifOpenCellView("test" "sample" "verifier")
=> 0

In the Design Management flow, if a window is already open, the function returns nil. No window is opened, but the session is still opened in non-graphical mode.

sess2 = verifOpenCellView("test" "sample" "verifier")
=> nil

Creates a new cellview.

sess3 = verifOpenCellView("test" "sample" "verifier2" ?mode "w")
=> 1
verifSaveSession(sess3)
verifCloseSession(sess3)

Reopens the cellview for edit without a window.

sess3 = verifOpenCellView("test" "sample" "verifier2" ?mode "a" ?openWindow nil)
=> 2
