DESCRIPTION

22       flatbeh synthetize a  VHDL  behavioral  data-flow  description  from  a
23       structural  description. It flattens the structural description (it can
24       be a hierarchy of macro block) until the cells which have a  behavioral
25       description.  Then  it  raise all the equations and create a behavioral
26       description of the root file.

PARAMETERS

30       root_structural_file is the filename of  the  root  of  the  structural
31       description file.
32
33       output_file is the destination filename for behavioural description.

35

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

37       MBK_CATA_LIB        list  of  directories containing descriptions.  The
38                           default path is the current directory (see mbk(1)).
39
40       MBK_CATAL_NAME      Indicates the file where the behavioral description
41                           files are given. This serves to flatbeh to stop the
42                           flatten of the structural root circuit.(see mbk(1))
43
44       MBK_IN_LO           file extension for structural entity. (see mbk(1))
