Simulation Options
Options for Controlling Messages
-q
Quiet mode; suppresses display of VCS header and summary
information. Suppresses the proprietary message at the
beginning of simulation and suppresses the VCS Simulation
Report at the end (time, CPU time, data structure size, and date).
-V
Verbose mode; displays VCS version and extended summary
information. Displays VCS compile and runtime version numbers,
and copyright information, at start of simulation.
+no_pulse_msg
Suppresses pulse error messages, but not the generation of StE
values at module path outputs when a pulse error condition
occurs.
You can enter this runtime option on the vcs command line.
You cannot enter this option in the file you use with the -f
compile-time option.
+sdfverbose
By default VCS displays no more than ten warning and ten error
messages about backannotating delay information from SDF
files. This option enables the display of all backannotation warning
and error messages.
This default limitation on backannotation messages applies only
to messages displayed on the screen and written in the simulation
log file. If you specify an SDF log file in the $sdf_annotate
system task, this log file receives all messages.
