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

SYNTAX
       rtlbrowse <stemsfilename>

DESCRIPTION
       Allows hierarchical browsing of Verilog HDL source code and library de-
       sign  files.   Navigation through the hierarchy may be done by clicking
       open areas of the tree widget and clicking on the individual levels  of
       hierarchy.   Inside 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 per-
       forms  optional source code annotation when called as a helper applica-
       tion 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 optimize the VCD file
       into FST.  All other dumpfile types (LXT, GHW) are unsupported 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  capable  of	 generating  compatible	stemsfiles.  Note that
	      gtkwave(1) will bring up this program as	a  client  application
	      for  source  code	 annotation.   It does that by bringing	up the
	      viewer with the shared memory ID of a segment of memory  in  the
	      viewer rather than using a stems filename.
