Tcl Package and Version

Belongs to ::quartus::sdc_ext

Syntax get_nodes [-h | -help] [-long_help] [-no_duplicates] [-nocase] [-nowarn] [ <filter> ]
Arguments -h | -help Short help
-long_help Long help with examples and possible return values
-no_duplicates Do not match duplicated node names
-nocase Specifies the matching of node names to be case-insensitive
-nowarn Do not issue warning messages about unmatched patterns
<filter> Valid destinations (string patterns are matched using Tcl string matching)
Description
Returns a collection of nodes in the design.

The default matching scheme returns not only nodes
whose names match the specified filter, but also nodes
duplicated from these nodes (refers to cells are
automatically generated by Quartus from these
nodes). Use the -no_duplicates option to not include
duplicated nodes.

The filter for the collection is a Tcl list of
wildcards, and must follow standard Tcl or
Timing Analyzer-extension substitution rules. See help for
the use_timing_analyzer_style_escaping command for details.
