Netlist::Interface(3)

Okay bestie, welcome to the Netlist::Interface(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section — yes, the Perl one, and it's giving serious Verilog interface energy. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Verilog::Netlist::Interface — Interface within a Verilog Netlist. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the lil starter pack, literally copy-paste vibes:

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 💖

So here's the tea: a Verilog::Netlist::Interface object is created by Verilog::Netlist for every interface in the design. Every. Single. One. ✨

🎀 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->modports — Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::ModPort in the interface. 🎀
• $self->modports_sorted — Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::ModPort in the interface sorted by name. ⭐
• $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 interface. 🎀
• $self->ports_ordered — Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the interface sorted by pin number. 🔢
• $self->ports_sorted — Returns list of references to Verilog::Netlist::Port in the interface sorted by name. ⭐

🦋 MEMBER FUNCTIONS 🦋

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

• $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. The netlist must be already ->link'ed for this to work correctly. 📝
