_N_A_M_E
          set_module_objective
                         Specify objective option for
                         optimization on a module.


SYNTAX
          string set_module_objective {_s_p_e_e_d | _a_r_e_a | _i_n_h_e_r_i_t}
                 _m_o_d_u_l_e__l_i_s_t

         string    _s_p_e_e_d, _a_r_e_a, _i_n_h_e_r_i_t
         list _m_o_d_u_l_e__l_i_s_t


ARGUMENTS
          _s_p_e_e_d          This option directs the optimization to
                         maximize circuit speed for the  modules
                         in _m_o_d_u_l_e__l_i_s_t.

          _a_r_e_a           This option directs the optimization to
                         minimize area utilization for the
                         modules in _m_o_d_u_l_e__l_i_s_t.

          _i_n_h_e_r_i_t        Set the objectives for the modules to be
                         the objective of the parent.


          _m_o_d_u_l_e__l_i_s_t    List of modules for which the
                         optimization objectives is to be set.


DESCRIPTION
          This command controls whether to optimize the specified
          modules contained in the current chip for maximum speed
          or minimum area.


EXAMPLES
          In this example, the modules /test1/C1 and /test/C2 are
          to be optimized for speed, and /test1/C3 and /test1/C4
          are to inherit the optimization objective of /test1.
          The optimization objective of /test1 is set to area.

          fe_shell > set mod1 {/test1/C1 /test1/C2}
          /test1/C1 /test1/C2

          fe_shell > set mod2 {/test1/C3 /test1/C4}
          /test1/C3 /test1/C4

          fe_shell > set_module_objective speed $mod1
          fe_shell > set_module_objective inherit $mod2
