The value types for the keys are described in “Value Types in Key Statements”.

messages relating to the rule. It expects a RULENAME value. A value is required.

is used together with the extension from NetlistFile to identify the rule. It expects an
EXTENSION value. A value is required.

netlist or class of netlists to a target file. The specific netlist or class of netlists is
specified by NetlistFile, and the class of target files is specified by TargetExtension. It
expects an EXECUTABLE value. A value is required.
