NAME

Verilog::Netlist::Interface - Interface within a Verilog Netlist

SYNOPSIS

  use Verilog::Netlist;

  ...
  my $interface = $netlist->find_interface('name');
  my $cell = $self->find_cell('name')
  my $port =  $self->find_port('name')
  my $net =  $self->find_net('name')

DESCRIPTION

A Verilog::Netlist::Interface object is created by Verilog::Netlist for every interface in the design.

ACCESSORS

See also Verilog::Netlist::Subclass for additional accessors and methods.

$self->comment: Returns any comments following the definition. keep_comments=>1 must be passed to Verilog::Netlist::new for comments to be retained.
$self->find_port_by_index: Returns the port name associated with the given index.
$self->name: The name of the interface.
$self->netlist: Reference to the Verilog::Netlist the interface is under.
$self->nets: Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Net in the interface.
$self->nets_sorted: Returns list of name sorted references to Verilog::Netlist::Net in the interface.
$self->nets_and_ports_sorted: Returns list of name sorted references to Verilog::Netlist::Net and Verilog::Netlist::Port in the interface.
$self->ports: Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the module.
$self->ports_ordered: Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the module sorted by pin number.
$self->ports_sorted: Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the module sorted by name.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

See also Verilog::Netlist::Subclass for additional accessors and methods.

$self->autos: Updates the AUTOs for the interface.
$self->find_net(name): Returns Verilog::Netlist::Net matching given name.
$self->level: Returns the reverse depth of this interface with respect to other modules and interfaces. See also Netlist's modules_sorted_level.
$self->lint: Checks the interface for errors.
$self->link: Creates interconnections between this interface and other interfaces.
$self->new_net: Creates a new Verilog::Netlist::Net.
$self->dump: Prints debugging information for this interface.
$self->verilog_text: Returns verilog code which represents this interface. Returned as an array that must be joined together to form the final text string.
