  1. Icarus Verilog is a Verilog simulation and synthesis tool. It operates
  2. as a compiler, compiling source code writen in Verilog (IEEE-1364) into
  3. some target format. For batch simulation, the compiler can generate an
  4. intermediate form called vvp assembly. This intermediate form is
  5. executed by the "vvp" command. For synthesis, the compiler generates
  6. netlists in the desired format.
  7. The compiler proper is intended to parse and elaborate design
  8. descriptions written to the IEEE standard IEEE Std 1364-2005. This is a
  9. fairly large and complex standard, so it will take some time for it to
  10. get there, but that's the goal.
