Option to load and execute the specified Tcl script.
Any remaining arguments are not interpreted as arguments to the executable, but passed to the Tcl script
as an argument, set in the global variable quartus(args).
The following example shows how to access the arguments from a Tcl script:
args.tcl:
proc show_arguments {} {
global quartus
foreach argument $quartus(args) {
puts "-> $argument"
}
}
show_arguments
% quartus_sh -t args.tcl a b c
% -> a
% -> b
% -> c
Note that this option does not allow other arguments to be specified before it.
--shell
Option to start the executable in shell mode, an interactive Tcl interpreter.
Additional arguments are not allowed before or after this option.
