Overview

zdb source filename

Re-implementation of the Tcl source command. The input file is evaluated line by line. This can be helpful to source very large scripts, e.g. to fill the zdb with a large netlist.

zdb primFuncList

Return a list of all supported primitive functions.

    zdb profile init
    zdb profile reset
    zdb profile print
    zdb profile get
    zdb profile finit

The above commands control the built-in Tcl profiler. The "init" and "finit" sub-commands start respective stop a profile session. Use "reset" to start a new profile session after a previous initialization. With the "print" command a profiling table is printed as a debug message to the message interface. The "get" command returns a list of triplets containing the command name, the number of calls and the total consumed time (in nanoseconds). This output can be used to create a custom profile report.
