Command Reference    2.  Synopsys Commands      define_design_lib



NAME
          define_design_lib
                         Maps a design library to a UNIX
                         directory.


SYNTAX
          int define_design_lib library_name -path directory

          string library_name
          string directory


ARGUMENTS
          library_name -path directory

                         Maps the specified design library to the
                         specified directory.


DESCRIPTION
          Maps a design library to a UNIX directory.  This
          directory is used to store intermediate representations
          of designs.

          When define_design_lib is used with design_library_file
          be aware that when the file is changed, it is re-read
          automatically.  As a result, if the file contains a
          definition for the library defined manually with
          define_design_lib, the manual specification is
          overridden.


EXAMPLES
          The following example uses define_design_lib to map the
          library MY_LIB to the directory ~library.


                         dc_shell> define_design_lib MY_LIB -path ~/library
