NAME

       Verilog::Netlist::Net - Net for a Verilog Module

SYNOPSIS

         use Verilog::Netlist;

         ...
         my $net = $module->find_net('signalname');
         print $net->name;

DESCRIPTION

       A Verilog::Netlist::Net object is created by Verilog::Netlist::Module for every signal and input/output
       declaration, and parameter in the current module.

ACCESSORS

       See also Verilog::Netlist::Subclass for additional accessors and methods.

       $self->array
           Any  array  (vector) declaration for the net.  This is for Verilog 2001 multidimensional signals; for
           the width of a signal, use msb/lsb/width. For newer  applications  use  data_type()  as  it  supports
           SystemVerilog types.

       $self->comment
           Returns   any   comments   following   the   definition.    keep_comments=>1   must   be   passed  to
           Verilog::Netlist::new for comments to be retained.

       $self->data_type
           The data type of the net.  This may be a data type keyword ("integer", "logic",  etc),  user  defined
           type from a type def, a range ("[11:0]", "signed [1:0]" or "" for an implicit wire.

       $self->decl_type
           How  the  net  was  declared.   A declaration keyword ("genvar", "localparam", "parameter", "var") or
           "port" if only as a port - and see the port method, or "net" - and see the net_type method.

       $self->module
           Reference to the Verilog::Netlist::Module or Verilog::Netlist::Interface the net is under.

       $self->lsb
           The least significant bit number of the net.

       $self->msb
           The most significant bit number of the net.

       $self->name
           The name of the net.

       $self->net_type
           The net type, if one applies.  Always a  net  type  keyword  ('supply0',  'supply1',  'tri',  'tri0',
           'tri1', 'triand', 'trior', 'trireg', 'wand', 'wire', 'wor').

       $self->type
           The  type  function  is  provided  for  backward compatibility to Verilog-Perl versions before 3.200.
           Applications should change to use data_type() and/or decl_type() instead.

           The type function returns an agglomeration of data_type, net_type and decl_type  that  worked  ok  in
           Verilog,  but  does  not  work  with  SystemVerilog.   Calls  to type() will be converted to calls to
           data_type, decl_type or net_type in a way that attempts to maintain backward  compatibility,  however
           compatibility is not always possible.

       $self->value
           If the net's type is 'parameter', the value from the parameter's declaration.

       $self->width
           The width of the net in bits.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

       See also Verilog::Netlist::Subclass for additional accessors and methods.

       $self->lint
           Checks the net for errors.  Normally called by Verilog::Netlist::lint.

       $self->dump
           Prints debugging information for this net.

       $self->dump_drivers
           Prints debugging information for this net, and all pins driving the net.
