project_open [-current_revision] [-force] [-revision <revision_name>] <project_name>
Options
-current_revision: Option to open the current revision automatically

Description
Opens an existing project. To create a new project, use the project_new command.
If the -revision option is not specified, the project name is specified as the revision name.
The project_open command gives an error when the compilation database version is not compatible with
the current version of Quartus II software. You may specify the "-force" option to avoid the error and
overwrite the database.
