The dump tool emits the parsed and processed parse trees back in to verilog.
If the last filter of a tool pipeline emits a parse tree the dump tool automatically appended to the end of the tool chain. The output of the dump tool may be specified in the following 3 ways:
- -o - This option converts all parse trees to verilog and emits the code to stdout.
- -o filename This option converts all parse trees to verilog and emits the code to file 'filename'.
- -dir directory This option converts all parse trees to verilog and emits each group of parse trees to a separate file in directory 'directory'. The filenames used vary based upon the prior tools in the pipeline.
There are various output formating switches that effect the output code style. Please see the Man Page for details.
