Visualization tool for VCD, LXT, and LXT2 files. VCD is an industry standard simulation dump format, LXT and LXT2 have been designed specifically for use with gtkwave. Native dumpers exist in Icarus Verilog for the LXT formats so conversion with vcd2lxt(1) or vcd2lxt2(1) is not necessary to take direct advantage of LXT with that simulator.
OPTIONS
-f,--dump <filename>
Specify dumpfile name.
-r,--rcfile <filename>
Specify override .gtkwaverc filename.
-s,--start <time>
Specify start time for LXT2 block skip.
-e,--end <time>
Specify end time for LXT2 block skip.
-v,--vcd
Use stdin as a VCD dumpfile.
-h,--help
Display help then exit.
-x,--exit
Exit after loading trace (for loader benchmarking).
FILES
~/.gtkwaverc
EXAMPLES
To run this program the standard way type:
gtkwave dumpfile.vcd
Alternatively you can run it with a save file as:
gtkwave dumpfile.vcd dumpfile.sav
Command line options are not necessary for representing the dumpfile, savefile, and rcfile names. They are merely provided to allow specifying them out of order.
