vcd2lxt2 – Converts VCD files to LXT2 files
Syntax
vcd2lxt2 [option]… [VCDFILE] [LXTFILE]Description
Converts VCD files to LXT2 files.Options
- -v,–vcdname <filename>
- Specify VCD input filename.
- -l,–lxtname <filename>
- Specify LXT2 output filename.
- -d,–depth <value>
- Specify 0..9 gzip compression depth, default is 4.
- -m,–maxgranule <value>
- Specify number of granules per section, default is 8. One granule is equal to 32 timsteps.
- -b,–break <value>
- Specify break size (default = 0 = off). When the break size is exceeded, the LXT2 dumper will dump all state information at the next convenient granule plus dictionary boundary.
- -p,–partialmode <mode>
- Specify partial zip mode 0 = monolithic, 1 = separation. Using a value of 1 expands LXT2 filesize but provides fast access for very large traces. Note that the default mode is neither monolithic nor separation: partial zip is disabled.
- -c,–checkpoint <mode>
- Specify checkpoint mode. 0 is on which is default, and 1 is off. This is disabled when the break size is active.
- -h,–help
- Show help screen.
Examples
Note that you should specify dumpfile.vcd directly or use "-" for stdin.- vcd2lxt dumpfile.vcd dumpfile.lxt –depth 9 –break 1073741824
- This sets the compression level to 9 and sets the break size to 1GB.
- vcd2lxt dumpfile.vcd dumpfile.lxt –depth 9 –maxgranule 256
- Allows more granules per section which allows for greater compression.
