SKILL data structures

pran
pran over 14 years ago

Hi,

I am new to skill.

I could see there are a number of functions like  "dbOpenCellViewByType" documented in  "SKILL Functions Reference". But I could not find the details for the various data structures used as output or input by these functions. For example, dbOpenCellViewByType returns a varible of type "dbObject". And I could not find the description of this varible type. If it is a structure, where are its members defined/declared. I could see c~>instances where cv is of type "dbObject", but what about other members.

Can someone point me to some docs for this?

     I'm not sure where it's documented, but the piece of information I find most useful is that the ~>? operator can be used to interogate objects for their members. So in the CIW try:

     cv = dbOpenCellViewByType(...)

    cv~>?

    This should print the members of the cv object.
