💖 VZT2VCD(1) — Filetype Conversion, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because vzt2vcd is here to take your .vzt files and turn them into .vcd files and honestly? it ate. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

vzt2vcd — Converts VZT files to VCD 🌸

✨ SYNTAX ✨

no cap, this is the whole shape of it:

vzt2vcd [option]... [VZTFILE]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically 🫶 it Converts VZT files to VCD files. and here's the lil detail that matters: if an output filename is not specified, the VCD is emitted to stdout. so it'll just spill the vibes right into your terminal, main character energy, no file needed.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

every single one, bestie, we are not skipping a single flag, periodt 👑

  • -v, --vztname <filename> — Specify VZT input filename. it's giving "here's my input, bestie" 💖
  • -o, --output <filename> — Specify optional VCD output filename. optional!! so if you don't use it, stdout gets the whole thing 🌈
  • -f, --flatearth — Emit flattened hierarchies. flat. like, no nesting, just vibes 🌸
  • -c, --coalesce — Coalesce bitblasted vectors. squish them together, slay ✨
  • -n, --notruncate — Do not shorten bitvectors. ⚠️ and listen, this one's got lore: it disables binary value compression as described in the IEEE-1364 specification. (i.e., all values except for '1' left propagate as a sign bit on vectors which do not fill up their entire declared width) 😭 so like, real talk, know what you're doing here.
  • -h, --help — Display help then exit. the classic. the icon 💅

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

To run this program the standard way type:

vzt2vcd filename.vzt

The VCD conversion is emitted to stdout. yup, straight to your terminal, no filter, we love that for you 🎀

✨ LIMITATIONS ✨

okay so this is the part where we keep it a hundred 🫶 — vzt2vcd does not re-create glitches as these are coalesced together into one value change during the writing of the VZT file. so those lil glitchy moments? gone. merged. one value change. it is what it is 😭
