vlib

The vlib command creates a design library. You must use vlib rather than operating system commands to create a library directory or index file. If the specified library already exists as a valid ModelSim library, the vlib command will exit with an error message without touching the library.

Syntax

vlib

[-help] [-dos | -short | -unix | -long] <directory_name>

Arguments

-help

Displays the command's options and arguments. Optional.

-dos

Specifies that subdirectories in a library have names that are compatible with DOS. Not recommended if you use the vmake utility. Optional. Default for ModelSim PE.

-short

Interchangeable with the -dos argument. Optional.

-unix

Specifies that subdirectories in a library may have long file names that are NOT compatible with DOS. Optional. Default for ModelSim SE.

-long

Interchangeable with the -unix argument. Optional.

<directory_name>

Specifies the pathname of the library to be created. Required.

Examples

vlib design

Creates the design library called design. You can define a logical name for the library using the vmap command or by adding a line to the library section of the modelsim.ini file that is located in the same directory.
