library manager in batch mode

bkatkam

I am working on a script, which needs library & cell list.

Instead of manually parsing cds.lib to get libraries and it's cells. I would like to know,

if there is an existing command, which can give library list and cell list from command-line.

    If you just want the libraries from a command line UNIX command, you could use "cdsLibDebug" or "cdsLibDebug -cla". However, I suspect you probably would be better off using dbAccess. You could create a simple SKILL script (adapt this as you like) such as:

    procedure(CCFlistLibs()
      foreach(lib ddGetLibList()
        printf("%s\n" lib~>name)
        ;printf("%s %s\n" lib~>name lib~>readPath)
      )
    )
    
    procedure(CCFlistCellsInLib(libName)
      let((lib)
        lib=ddGetObj(libName)
        foreach(cellName sort(lib~>cells~>name 'alphalessp)
          printf("%s\n" cellName)
        )
      )
    )
    
    CCFlistLibs()
    
    printf("\nCELLS IN analogLib\n")
    CCFlistCellsInLib("analogLib")
    
    exit()

    Then do:

    dbAccess -load /path/to/the/script.il

    Regards,
