Description
Set or get the current hierarchical cell instance in the current IP integrator subsystem design, as defined by current_bd_design. The current instance is referenced from the top-level of the subsystem design hierarchy, or "/".
This command returns the current IP integrator cell instance object, or returns nothing if the command failed.
Arguments
-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.<instance> - (Optional) The name of the IP integrator hierarchical cell to be set as the current instance of the subsystem design.
- The <instance> is specified relative to the presently defined current instance, using the defined hierarchy separator.
- Use '..' to move up one level of the hierarchy relative to the current instance.
- If the <instance> argument is omitted, the current instance is reset to the top module in the subsystem design hierarchy.
- If the <instance> is specified as '.' then the name of the current instance is returned, and the instance is not changed.
