List of property values.

Usage

Name	Description

`[-class]`	Object type to query for legal property values. Ignored if object is specified.
`[-quiet]`	Ignore command errors
`[-verbose]`	Suspend message limits during command execution
`<name>`	Name of property whose legal values is to be retrieved
`[<object>]`	Object to query for legal properties values

Description

Gets a list of valid values for an enumerated type property of either a class of objects or a specific object.

Note: The command cannot be used to return valid values for properties other than Enum properties. The report_property command will return the type of property to help you identify Enum properties.

Arguments

-default - (Optional) Return the default property value for the specified class of objects.

-class <arg> - (Optional) Return the property values of the specified class instead of a specific object. The class argument is case sensitive, and most class names are lower case.

Note: -class cannot be used together with an <object>.

-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.

<name> - (Required) The name of the property to be queried. Only properties with an enumerated value, or a predefined value set, can be queried with this command. All valid values of the specified property will be returned.

<object> - (Optional) A single object on which to report properties.

Note: If you specify multiple objects you will get an error.

Examples

The following example returns the list of valid values for the KEEP_HIERARCHY property from cell objects:

list_property_value KEEP_HIERARCHY -class cell

The following example returns the same result, but uses an actual cell object in place of the general cell class:

list_property_value KEEP_HIERARCHY [get_cells cpuEngine]

The following example returns the default value for the specified property by using the current design as a representative of the design class:

list_property_value -default BITSTREAM.GENERAL.COMPRESS [current_design]
