👑 DEF_GENPAT — GENPAT functions 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the GENPAT corner of the manual, aka DEF_GENPAT(3). this is the little function that names your output file. short page, iconic energy, let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

DEF_GENPAT</purpose>, plus the whole GENPAT Package it rolls with 🫶

🦋 ORIGIN 🦋

so this software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM, and it was cooked up by the ASIM team over at the LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France 🇫🇷✨

like, actual Paris. main character laboratory behavior, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

DEF_GENPAT ("ident");

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • ident — the output file's name, without the extension. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 💖

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

it gives you the output file's name. literally that. it's giving "short and sweet" and honestly? we love that for it 🌈

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

DEF_GENPAT ("my_file");

this declares the output file's name as my_file.<VH_PATSFX>, which is usually my_file.pat 💅

ngl, <VH_PATSFX> is the placeholder in play here — usually it lands on pat, but the manual says usually, so don't come for me, i'm just the messenger 🙈

go read them, bestie, they're all part of the same friend group 🫶

and they need your feedback to improve documentation and tools — like, genuinely, they're asking. so if something's broken or confusing, say something, it's giving community service and it's giving helpful 👑
