set_tree

+
Set the current tree, if there are more than one sets of databases (LLM: tree)
+Usage: set_tree($tree);
+$tree: It can be Top, Top_ref, Top_1 or Top_2
+       Top: The Implementation Netlist
+       Top_ref: The Reference Netlist
+       Top_1: The netlist loaded by -Top_1 option
+       Top_2: The netlist loaded by -Top_2 option
+       If $tree is not defined, the current database name is returned
+
+Note: Implementation tree 'Top' has aliases of 'imp', 'IMP'
+      Reference tree 'Top_ref' has aliases of 'ref', 'REF'
+
+Examples:
+
+set_tree("Top"); # Set to the Implementation Netlist tree
+set_tree("Top_ref"); # Set to the Reference Netlist tree
+set_tree();  # Return the current database name. E.G. 'Top_ref'

set_user_match

+
Set match between multi-bit flops to multi-bit flops, and between multi-bit flops to single bit flop
+Usage: set_user_match($inst1, $inst2);
+$inst1: The first flop instance, in the format of 'r:reg_1_0A/\*dff.00.0\*' if it is multibit 
+           or 'r:reg_1A' if it is single bit
+$inst2: The second flop instance, in the format of 'i:reg_1_0A/\*dff.00.0\*' if it is multibit 
+           or 'i:reg_1A' if it is single bit
+
+Examples:
+
+set_user_match('r:reg_1_0A/\*dff.00.0\*', 'i:reg_0A');
+set_user_match('r:reg_1_0A/\*dff.00.1\*', 'i:reg_1A');
+set_user_match('r:reg_2_1A/\*dff.00.1\*', 'i:reg_1_0A/\*dff.00.0\*');
+
+Note: It is recommended to use SVF file, guide_multibit in SVF file has the same effect of this command
