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.
