  34 NAME
  35        vcd2vzt - Converts VCD files to VZT files
  36
  37 SYNTAX
  38        vcd2vzt [option]... [VCDFILE] [VZTFILE]
  39
  40 DESCRIPTION
  41        Converts VCD files to VZT files.
  42
  43 OPTIONS
  44        -v,--vcdname &lt;filename&gt;
  45               Specify VCD input filename.
  46
  47        -l,--vztname &lt;filename&gt;
  48               Specify VZT output filename.
  49
  50        -d,--depth &lt;value&gt;
  51               Specify 0..9 gzip compression depth, default is 4.
  52
  53        -m,--maxgranule &lt;value&gt;
  54               Specify number of granules per section, default is 8.  One gran-
  55               ule is equal to 32 timesteps.
  56
  57        -b,--break &lt;value&gt;
  58               Specify break size (default = 0 = off).  When the break size  is
  59               exceeded,  the VZT dumper will dump all state information at the
  60               next convenient granule plus dictionary boundary.
  61
  62        -z,--ziptype &lt;value&gt;
  63               Specify zip type (default = 0 gzip, 1 = bzip2).  This allows you
  64               to  override  the  default  compression  algorithm to use a more
  65               effective one at the expense  of  greater  runtime.   Note  that
  66               bzip2  does not decompress as fast as gzip so the viewer will be
  67               about two times slower when decompressing blocks.
  68
  69        -t,--twostate
  70               Forces MVL2 twostate mode (default is MVL4).  When enabled,  the
  71               trace will only store 0/1 values for binary facilities.  This is
  72               useful for functional simulation and will speed  up  dumping  as
  73               well as make traces somewhat smaller.
  74
  75        -r, --rle
  76               Uses  an bitwise RLE compression on the value table.  Default is
  77               off.  When enabled, this causes  the  trace  data  table  to  be
  78               stored  using an alternate representation which can improve com-
  79               pression in many cases.
  80
  81        -h,--help
  82               Show help screen.

  86        EXAMPLES
  87
  88        Note that you should specify  dumpfile.vcd  directly  or  use  &quot;-&quot;  for
  89        stdin.
  90
  91        vcd2vzt dumpfile.vcd dumpfile.lxt --depth 9 --break 1073741824
  92               This  sets the compression level to 9 and sets the break size to
  93               1GB.
  94
  95        vcd2vzt dumpfile.vcd dumpfile.lxt --depth 9 --maxgranule 512
  96               Allows more granules per section which allows for  greater  com-
  97               pression at the expense of memory usage.
  98
  99 LIMITATIONS
 100        vcd2vzt  does  not  store glitches as these are coalesced together into
 101        one value change during the writing of the VZT file.
