How to check PDK path in cadence shell window?

Hi there,

is there a way to check the PDK directory in cadence shell window using skill-

Suppose when i do echo $ROOT_PDK in cadence shell window...when path is found then ,path should assign to particular string box...if the $ROOT_PDK is undefined or doesn't found path in shell window....then it should assign null value to same string box?

Also, when i run script, shell window should not open...its checks in background and and print results in string box

Regards,

Thomas

    Well, this rather depends on the PDK you're using, but if it's just about getting a UNIX env var, then getShellEnvVar("ROOT_PDK") would return the value of the environment variable, or nil if it's not set.
