Vl-zip

Parse a SystemVerilog design and save it as a .vlzip file, typically for use with the vl-server.

The VL kit provides a zip command that you can use to parse a Verilog/SystemVerilog design and then write it out into a .vlzip file. These files are complete snapshots of what VL has parsed, and also include the full, raw source code files that have been loaded.

These files are typically used by the vl-server for viewing with the VL Module Browser. They can alternately be reloaded into ACL2 sessions using vl-read-zip, which requires very little of VL to be loaded.

For detailed usage information, run vl zip --help or see *vl-zip-help*.
