VZTMINER(1)						       Dumpfile Data Mining						       VZTMINER(1)

NAME

       vztminer - Data mining of VZT files

SYNTAX

       vztminer [option]... [VZTFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Mines VZT files for specific data values and generates gtkwave save files to stdout for future reload.

OPTIONS

       -d,--dumpfile <filename>
	      Specify VZT input dumpfile.

       -m,--match <value>
	      Specifies "bitwise" match data (binary, real, string)

       -x,--hex <value>
	      Specifies hexadecimal match data that will automatically be converted to binary for searches

       -n,--namesonly
	      Indicates  that  only  facnames  should  be printed in a gtkwave savefile compatible format.  By doing this, the file can be used to
	      specify which traces are to be imported into gtkwave.

       -c,--comprehensive
	      Indicates that results are not to stop after the first match.  This can be used to extract all the matching values in the trace.

       -h,--help
	      Show help screen.

EXAMPLES

       vztminer dumpfile.vzt --hex 20470000 -n

       This attempts to match the hex value 20470000 across all facilities and when the value is encountered, the facname only is printed to  std-
       out in order to generate a gtkwave compatible save file.

LIMITATIONS

       vztminer  only  prints  the  first time a value is encountered for a specific net.  This is done in order to cut down on the size of output
       files and to aid in following data such as addresses through a simulation model.  Note also that the reader algorithm  attempts	to  recon-
       struct  bitblasted  nets  back into their original vectors but this is not always successful, specifically in the case where the individual
       bitstrands are dumped in non-sequential order.
