-report_query {value}

Specifies the report type. The following table shows the acceptable values for this argument:


Value	Description
Report by Net - summary	Provides a summary report for each net
Report by Net - detailed	Provides a detailed report for each net

Value	Description
true	Automatically constructs the clock domain
false	Does not automatically construct the clock domain

-clock_period {value}

Use this option to specify a virtual clock period (in ps). This should be used if -auto_construct_clock_domain

is set to false.

-clock_offset {value}

Use this option to specify the time of the first active edge of the virtual clock (in ps). This should be used if – auto_construct_clock_domain is set to false.

-opmode {value}

Use this option to specify the mode from which the operating conditions are extracted to generate the report.

{filename}

Specifies the name of the report.
