Description

Moves files returned by the get_files command from one fileset to another while maintaining the properties on the files.

This command returns the list of files that were moved, or an error if the command fails.

Arguments

-fileset <arg> - (Optional) The destination fileset to which the specified source files should be moved. If no fileset is specified the files are moved to the sources_1 fileset by default. An error is returned if the specified fileset does not exist.

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.
<files> - (Optional) One or more file objects returned by the get_files command.
Important: You must specify file objects returned by the get_files command, and not simply specify file names.

Examples

The following example moves the file, top_full.xdc, to the constrs_2 fileset.

move_files -fileset constrs_2 [get_files top_full.xdc]
