Example

  1. The following command retrieves the value of the RETIMING parameter for the SYNTHESIZE tool.
    puts [get_tool_options -name {SYNTHESIZE} -params {RETIMING}]
Output: true
  2. The following example gets the values of multiple parameters. 
    set p [get_tool_options \
            -name {PLACEROUTE} \
            -params {REPAIR_MIN_DELAYEFFORT_LEVEL IOREG_COMBINING}]
puts "$p"
Output:
REPAIR_MIN_DELAY true EFFORT_LEVEL true IOREG_COMBINING false
  3. When no parameters are given, in this case the following command returns all configured parameters of a VERIFYTIMING Libero tool. 
    puts [get_tool_options -name {VERIFYTIMING}]
Output:
