13 Allows hierarchical browsing of Verilog HDL source code and library
14 design files. Navigation through the hierarchy may be done by clicking
15 open areas of the tree widget and clicking on the individual levels of
16 hierarchy. Inside the source code, selecting the module instantiation
17 name by double clicking or selecting part of the name through drag-
18 clicking will descend deeper into the RTL hierarchy. Note that it per‐
19 forms optional source code annotation when called as a helper applica‐
20 tion by gtkwave(1) and when the primary marker is set. Source code
21 annotation is not available for all supported dumpfile types. It is
22 directly available for LXT2, VZT, FST, and AET2. For VCD, use the
23 -o,--optimize option of gtkwave(1) in order to optimize the VCD file
24 into FST. All other dumpfile types (LXT, GHW) are unsupported at this
25 time.

30 rtlbrowse stemsfile
31 The RTL is then brought up in a GTK tree viewer. Stems must
32 have been previously generated with xml2stems(1) or some other
33 tool capable of generating compatible stemsfiles. Note that
34 gtkwave(1) will bring up this program as a client application
35 for source code annotation. It does that by bringing up the
36 viewer with the shared memory ID of a segment of memory in the
37 viewer rather than using a stems filename.
