.SH NAME
vvp - Icarus Verilog vvp runtime engine
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B vvp
[-dv] [-Mpath] [-mmodule] inputfile
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIvvp\fP is the run time engine that executes the default compiled
form generated by Icarus Verilog. The output from the \fIiverilog\fP
command is not by itself executable on any platform. Instead, the
\fIvvp\fP program is invoked to execute the generated output file.
.SH OPTIONS
.l
\fIvvp\fP accepts the following options:
.TP 8
.B -M\fIpath\fP
This flag specifies the directory to use to locate VPI modules. This
is normally not used as the installer places the modules in the
default directory, but it can be used if you choose to use alternate
versions of VPI modules.
.TP 8
.B -m\fImodule\fP
Tell the vvp run time to load the named module before executing the
simulation. The \fBsystem.vpi\fP module is loaded by default, but
additional modules, including modules that you compiled locally, can
be specified with this flag. Any number of modules can be loaded, and
they will be linked in the order they are listed on the command line.
.TP 8
.B -v
Turn on verbose messages. This will cause information about run time
progress to be printed to standard out.
