FSTMINER(1)

NAME

fst2miner - Data mining of FST files

SYNTAX

fstminer [option]... [FSTFILE]

DESCRIPTION

Mines FST files for specific data values and generates gtkwave save files to stdout for future reload.

OPTIONS

-d,--dumpfile <filename>
    Specify FST input dumpfile.

-m,--match <value>
    Specifies "bitwise" match data (binary, real, string)

-x,--hex <value>
    Specifies hexadecimal match data that will automatically be converted to binary for searches

-n,--namesonly
    Indicates that only facnames should be printed in a gtkwave savefile compatible format. By doing this, the file can be used to specify which traces are to be imported into gtkwave.

-c,--comprehensive
    Indicates that results are not to stop after the first match. This can be used to extract all the matching values in the trace.

-h,--help
    Show help screen.

EXAMPLES

fstminer dumpfile.fst --hex 20470000 -n

This attempts to match the hex value 20470000 across all facilities and when the value is encountered, the facname only is printed to stdout in order to generate a gtkwave compatible save file.

LIMITATIONS
fstminer only prints the first time a value is encountered for a specific net. This is done in order to cut down on the size of output files and to aid in following data such as addresses through a simulation model.
