Surveyor: SKILL Tabulator Form

Use this form to create a non-proprietary snap-shot of your SKILL environment and to report the Cadence functions called from your SKILL code. This form ignores all user functions to preserve confidentiality.

Field Description

File or Directory Name(s)

Specifies multiple space-separated SKILL file names or directory names containing the SKILL files to be tabulated.

By default, the current directory from which you started the program appears in this field. This is a required field.

Do Not Resolve Symbolic Links

Enables the SKILL Tabulator to check the files that have no extension.

By default, this check box is not marked: The SKILL Tabulator resolves symbolic links to check the files to which the links refer. For example:

% ls -l /usr/src/fileLn.il
/usr/src/fileLn.il -> actualFile

When the check box is not marked, the SKILL Tabulator checks /usr/src/actualFile.

You can mark this check box so that the SKILL Tabulator checks links without resolving them. In the example above, the SKILL Tabulator checks /usr/src/fileLn.il.

File Extensions

Specifies multiple extensions of files to be tabulated. By default, il ile cdsinit. If you use extensions that differ from the usual il ile cdsinit, you must edit this field. Unless you mark the Do Not Resolve Symbolic Links check box (above), the SKILL Tabulator follows symbolic links and the extensions are checked against the file to which the links refer. This is a required field.

Recurse Directories

Enables the SKILL Tabulator to recursively search all the files hierarchically under the directory path(s) you typed in the File or Directory Name(s) field. The default value is t.

Exclude Files or Directories

Specifies files or directories to be excluded from tabulation in the current directory level of the directories specified in the File or Directory Name(s) field.

Recursively Excluded Files

Specifies the files to be recursively excluded from tabulation in the current directory level as well as all the subdirectories of the directories you typed in the File or Directory Name(s) field.

Report File

Specifies the output file (by default, ./skillTab.out) that contains a report of Cadence and user-defined functions defined, called, and how many times they were called. This is a required field.

Create Info File

Enables the Info File field.

Info File

Specifies the name and location of an information file that the SKILL Tabulator creates containing a list of files where Cadence and user-defined functions were called.

Create Defn File

Enables the Defn File field.

Defn File

Specifies a definition file that the SKILL Tabulator creates containing a list of files where Cadence and user-defined functions were defined.

Show Report

Opens the report file in a viewing window when the tabulation is done.

Show User Defined

Lists the functions that are filtered by the local definition criterion in the output file.

Customer Telephone Number

Specifies your contact number, including area code or country code as required.

Project Name

Specifies the name of the project.

Project Info

Specifies the information related to the specified project.
