messages, and nil means an error occurred during execution. Error messages can be the result of syntax errors, insufficient arguments, or undefined parameters.
You can direct the output to a file and check it with a text editor, or you can check the output on the screen.
To direct output and error messages to a file, add the following to your library command file:
poport = outfile( filename ) errport = outfile( filename )
You can specify different files for storing the output or error messages, or you can specify the same file. If you want to store them in the same file, use the following command:
poport = errport = outfile( filename )
Library Management Commands
The following table lists the library management (lm) commands in the order described in this section.

Symbol and Simulation Library Generator
lmCheckTerm
lmCheckTerm( <cell list> [<filename>]
)
Description
Checks the consistency of terminal name, type, and width for all views of each specified cell.
If there is a schematic view, terminals in the schematic view are used as the basis of comparison for each cell. Otherwise, terminals in the symbol view are used as the basis of comparison. When neither schematic nor symbol view exists, no terminal checking is performed. After checking, inconsistent terminal names/widths and input/output types are identified and printed.
Arguments |
|
cell list |
<cell list> := <cell name> | t | (<cell name> … |
|
<cell name>) |
|
If cell list is t, all views of the specified cell are implied. |
filename |
Name of a file where the printout is stored. If not specified, output |
|
is displayed on the screen. |
Examples
lmCheckTerm( (and2 and3) "check.out" )
Checks the terminal consistency of all views for the cells and2 and and3 and puts output in the filecheck.out.
lmCheckTerm( t )
Checks the terminal consistency of all views for each cell in the current library.

Description
Evaluates a sequence of expressions for each specified cellview. Checks the property value for consistency.
Property values can be included in an expression. The expressions should conform to SKILL syntax. After evaluation, the result is printed for each expression.

Examples
fast_process = t margin = 1ns
lmCheckView( (and2 and3) symbol if( fast_process then
sum = 5ns trmax = 4ns tfmax = 3ns
else
sum = 9ns trmax = 6ns tfmax = 5ns
)
lmGetValue(tr) < trmax lmGetValue(tf) < tfmax
lmGetValue(tr) + lmGetValue(tf) <- sum + margin

Symbol and Simulation Library Generator
Checks some conditions for the rise and fall time in the symbol view of and2 and and3. The property names tr and tf contain the rise and fall times. The predefined function lmGetValue gets the value of the specified property.
lmCheckView( t spice
gammaValue = lmGetValue(gamma) lambdaValue = lmGetValue(lambda) gammaValue < 0.4
lamdaValue < 0.04
)
Checks the values of the properties gamma and lambda in the spice view for each cell in the current library.
