   truesim [ -D <filename> ] [ -d ] [ -f <filename> ] [ -g <filename> ] [
   -h ] [ -n <N> ] [ -p <filename> ] [ -r <N> ] [ -t <time> ] [ -v <N> ]

   Simulates  a  network with a set of input vectors. Before calling this
   command,  the  user  should  create  a  partition  (using  the command
   build_partition_mdds).  The  simulation vectors can be provided by the
   user (using -f vectors_file), or generated randomly.

   Command options:

   -D <filename>
          File   to   dump  randomly  generated  vectors.  Primary  input
          probability file SHOULD be specified with -p option.

   -d
          Perform event-driven true delay simulation. The fanout count of
          the  nodes  is  used as an estimate for the node delay. Primary
          inputs are assumed to have arrival times of zero.

   -f <filename>
          File  containing  simulation  vectors. The format is simple but
          strict  and  hence,  few checks are made. The file format is as
          below:

          .i c n d o e p f q g r h s i t j u k a l b m
          .s
          0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 ;
          0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 ;
          0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 ;
          0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 ;
          The  .i  statement specifies the primary inputs of the network.
          The  patterns  start  after .s key word. Each vector is a space
          separated  list of bits and ends in a semi-colon. The length of
          any  vector  should be equal to the number of signals specified
          in the .i statement. A line starting with # is a comment.

   -g <filename>
          File  to  output  random  probabilities for primary inputs. Use
          this  option  ONLY  to produce a vector of signal probabilities
          for   primary   inputs.  This  option  does  not  proceed  with
          simulation.

   -h
          Print a help message that details all options.

   -n <N>
          Number  of  patterns to simulate. The default is 1000. Use this
          option ONLY with -p option.

   -p <filename>
          File  containing  primary input probabilities. The format is as
          shown below:

          PI_Name1 0.67
          PI_Name2 0.45

   -r <N>
          Print  PI/PO names after every N patterns simulated, for better
          readability of simulation output. This option is effective only
          when the verbosity flag is on.

   -T <filename>
          File  containing node delay and load values. The file format is
          as shown below:

          node1 delay1 load1
          node2 delay2 load2
          The  delay vaues are assumed as specified in a common unit. The
          same is true for load values too.

   -t <time>
          Time  in  seconds allowed to finish the simulation. The default
          is no limit.

   -v <N>
          Specify verbosity level, N.
