1.6. Text-Based Report Files
Each command-line executable creates a text report file when it is run. These files report success or failure, and contain information about the processing performed by the executable.
Report file names contain the revision name and the short-form name of the executable that generated the report file, in the format <revision>.<executable>.rpt. For example, using the quartus_fit executable to place and route a project with the revision name design_top generates a report file named design_top.fit.rpt. Similarly, using the quartus_sta executable to perform timing analysis on a project with the revision name fir_filter generates a report file named fir_filter.sta.rpt.
As an alternative to parsing text-based report files, you can use the ::quartus::report Tcl package.
