DESCRIPTION

This package creates a tied hash %NET, that fetching from or storing to affects the Verilog signal named the same as the hash key. The hiearchy may be placed in front of the signal names using standard dot notation, or if not found, the scope from when the tie was established, or later scope() calls is prepended to the passed signal name.

Signal names may have a leading %b: %d: %x: or %s: to return or set the value in the binary, decimal, hex, or string format respectively. Values may have a leading 0b or 0x to set the value in binary or hex format respectively.

scope
