SYNTAX
          fe_shell[-help]

          string    _s_c_r_i_p_t__f_i_l_e__n_a_m_e
          int  _s_e_c_o_n_d_s
          string    _l_o_g__f_i_l_e__n_a_m_e


ARGUMENTS
          -help          This option lists the available options
                         to fe_shell.


          -file _s_c_r_i_p_t__f_i_l_e__n_a_m_e
                         This option specifies the name of a file
                         containing fe_shell commands to execute
                         upon startup.


          -time _s_e_c_o_n_d_s  Limit the CPU time for an fe_shell
                         session to this value.  After the
                         specified number of CPU seconds, an
                         error message will be displayed an
                         fe_shell will terminate.


          -log _l_o_g__f_i_l_e__n_a_m_e
                         This option specifies the name of the
                         log file.  Commands that are passed to
                         fe_shell are saved in this log file.
                         The default name for this file is
                         _f_e__s_h_e_l_l __c_o_m_m_a_n_d._l_o_g.


DESCRIPTION
          fe_shell is Tcl-based command-line interface to FPGA
          Express .  To maintain the ease-of-use of FPGA Express
          , the data models defined by the FPGA Express graphical
          user interface is preserved in command line form (see
          object(2)).

          fe_shell commands are in the form:
          <action>_<object>_<modifier>. Commands are organized
          into command groups either by action or by object.  A
          special command group _b_u_i_l_t_i_n contains a list of
          supported Tcl keywords as well as some generic command
          line utilities that are common to Synopsys command-line
          interfaces.

          Commands and options that are not in the _b_u_i_l_t_i_n
          command group can be abbreviated as long as the
          abbreviation is unique. If the abbreviation is not
          unique, a list of matching commands is displayed.

          The list of available commands can be displayed by the
          help command. Additional summary for a particular
          command can be obtained by invoking the command with
          the -_h_e_l_p option or by invoking the help command with
          the command name as an argument. More detailed help can
          be obtained by using the man command.
