⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

flatlo [option] logical_figure [instance] output_name

that's the whole vibe. three-ish things go in, flatness comes out 🫶

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

flatlo FLATen LOgical figure — she flattens. that's the job. that's the whole job. 💅

Here's the three moods she can be in:

• flatlo logical_figure instance output_name flattens "instance" in "logical_figure"
• flatlo -r logical_figure output_name flattens logical_figure to the catalog
• flatlo -t logical_figure output_name flattens logical_figure to the transistors

three ways to be flat. all of them iconic. 🌈

🌸 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌸

these are the lil guys that change how she behaves. give them a vibe check before you run anything bestie 👑

• MBK_CATA_LIB — list of directories containing descriptions. the default path is the current directory (see mbk(1)).
• MBK_CATAL_NAME — indicates the file where the behavioral description files are given. this serves to flatbeh to stop the flatten of the structural root circuit. (see mbk(1))
• MBK_IN_LO — file extension for structural entity. (see mbk(1))
• MBK_IN_OUT — file extension for structural entity. (see mbk(1))

yes, MBK_IN_LO and MBK_IN_OUT have the same one-liner in the original. not me editing the source material. i said what i said. 💀
