RTLBROWSE(1)			  File Viewing			    RTLBROWSE(1)

NAME
     rtlbrowse - Allows hierarchical browsing of Verilog HDL source code and li-
     brary design files.

SYNTAX
     rtlbrowse <stemsfilename>

DESCRIPTION
     Allows  hierarchical browsing of Verilog HDL source code and library design
     files.  Navigation through the hierarchy may be done by clicking open areas
     of the tree widget and clicking on the individual levels of hierarchy.  In-
     side the source code, selecting the module  instantiation	name  by  double
     clicking  or  selecting part of the name through drag-clicking will descend
     deeper into the RTL hierarchy.  Note that it performs optional source  code
     annotation  when called as a helper application by  gtkwave(1) and when the
     primary marker is set.  Source code annotation is	not  available	for  all
     supported dumpfile types.	It is directly available for LXT2, VZT, FST, and
     AET2.   For VCD, use the -o,--optimize option of gtkwave(1) in order to op-
     timize the VCD file into FST.  All other dumpfile types (LXT, GHW) are  un-
     supported at this time.

EXAMPLES
     To run this program the standard way type:

     rtlbrowse stemsfile
	    The  RTL  is  then brought up in a GTK tree viewer.  Stems must have
	    been previously generated with xml2stems(1) or some other tool capa-
	    ble of generating compatible stemsfiles.  Note that gtkwave(1)  will
	    bring  up this program as a client application for source code anno-
	    tation.  It does that by bringing up the viewer with the shared mem-
	    ory ID of a segment of memory in the  viewer  rather  than	using  a
	    stems filename.
