Are there SKILL functions to modify cds.lib?

MorrisDH over 3 years ago

I am using shell commands to modify cds.lib because I've not found a skill command that will do this.

Add a library

shell("echo DEFINE myLib /path/to/myLib >> cds.lib")

ddUpdateLibList()

Delete a library

shell("cat cds.lib | grep -v myLib >> xx ; mv xx cds.lib")

ddUpdateLibList

Is there a SKILL funtion that will add or remove libraries from cds.lib?

Hi, I don't think there is any public function to do so

Even in Cadence support articles, they use system calls How to work with an modified/updated cds.lib file within a SKILL script?

You might delete in a more elegant way using sed (or in a safer way by adding UNDEFINE in your cds.lib) though

Cheers

To add a library to the cds.lib, you can just use ddCreateLib - if the library directory already exists, all this does is add it to the cds.lib

I don't believe there's a function just to remove an entry from the cds.lib (simplest is to concatenate an UNDEFINE statement to the end). The ddDeleteObj function will remove it, but it also removes the library from disk which you probably don't want.

Not sure how to duplicate the functionality in sed. I like the UNDEFINE suggestion. Thanks,
