Extract critical path in the layout using SKILL

Hi,

 is is there any command to extract the critical path or the longest path from input to output ? This longest path length is based in the number of devices in between the input and the output port

For example: IN-M1-M2-M3-M4-OUT and IN-M3-M4-OUT,  The critical path is IN-M1 -M2-M3-M4-OUT because there are 4 transistors between IN and OUT pin.

    Not as far as I know - this is  presumably just your definition of what counts as a critical path or longest path - I think you'd need to write some traversal code to extract such information based on your definition.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
