Description

A VCD file must be opened and assigned to a VCD object using the open_vcd command in order for there to be a current VCD object.

This command returns the current VCD object.

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.

-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.

<VCDObject> - (Optional) The name of the VCD object to set as the current object. If a <VCDObject> is not specified, the command returns the current VCD object of the active simulation.
