    Hi Marben,

    It is common for a PDK technology library to have a libInit.il file in it - such files are automatically loaded by virtuoso when the library is accessed. Typically the libInit.il file then loads other SKILL which may include CDF callback functions. Note: the libInit.il file and any file that it loads may be encrypted and thus not readable to you. Most PDK vendors are likely to protect their IP by encrypting their SKILL files.

    Hopefully this helps.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
