Subject: Getting Synopsys Man Pages Without Tying Up A Synopsys Licence
Here's a UNIX csh alias that I (and other ESNUG readers may) find useful:
alias synman man -M /home/synopsys_30b/doc/syn/man
where /home/synopsys_30b is one's Synopsys root directory.
I use this when writing synopsys shell scripts and don't want to dip into
dc_shell or design_analyzer to get command syntax or descriptions. (It
relies on the fact that Synopsys' on-line documentation is in man page
friendly formats.) Here's the alias in action:
>synman set_structure
Command Reference 2. Synopsys Commands set_structure
NAME
set_structure Determines if a design is structured
during optimization.
SYNTAX
...
I also suppose one could add it to their MANPATH environment variable instead.
