netgen-lvs - Layout vs Schematic checker
netgen-lvs [options] <interpreter commands ...>
Netgen (netgen-lvs) is a tool for comparing netlists, a process known as LVS, which stands for "Layout vs. Schematic". This is an important step in the integrated circuit design flow, ensuring that the geometry that has been laid out matches the expected circuit.
In Debian, the name 'netgen-lvs' is used for this software because the word ’netgen' is reserved by other software. If you would like to be able to start netgen-lvs simply using 'netgen', prepend your PATH with:
When starting netgen-lvs without any options, a tkcon window with an interpreter pops up.
PATH=/usr/lib/netgen/bin:$PATH
To run LVS between two SPICE netlists directly from the shell, you can for instance run:
netgen -batch lvs bufferA.spice bufferB.spice
