# Verilog::Netlist::Port(3pm)

Port for a Verilog Module

## NAME

Verilog::Netlist::Port - Port for a Verilog Module

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Verilog::Netlist;
  ...
  my $port = $module->find_port('pinname');
  print $port->name;
```

## DESCRIPTION

A Verilog::Netlist::Port object is created by Verilog::Netlist::Module for every port connection in the module.

## ACCESSORS

See also Verilog::Netlist::Subclass for additional accessors and methods.

- $self-\>array

  Any array declaration for the port.  This only applies to Verilog 1995 style ports which can declare port bits independently from the signal declarations.  When using Verilog 2001 style ports, see the matching net declaration's data\_type, msb and lsb methods instead, for example `"$module-"`find\_net($port-\>name)-\>data\_type\>.

- $self-\>comment

  Returns any comments following the definition.  keep\_comments=\>1 must be passed to Verilog::Netlist::new for comments to be retained.

- $self-\>data\_type

  The SystemVerilog data type of the port.

- $self-\>direction

  The direction of the port: "in", "out", or "inout".

- $self-\>module

  Reference to the Verilog::Netlist::Module the port is in.

- $self-\>name

  The name of the port.

- $self-\>net

  Reference to the Verilog::Netlist::Net the port connects to.  Only valid after the netlist is linked.

- $self-\>type

  Approximately an alias of data\_type for backward compatibility.  Do not use for new applications.

## MEMBER FUNCTIONS

See also Verilog::Netlist::Subclass for additional accessors and methods.

- $self-\>dump

  Prints debugging information for this port.
