Libero
Version 2.32

Read-Only Variables

You can use these read-only variables anywhere in a schema:

$author: The value of the -author option.
$date: The current date in a shortened form: 'yy/mm/dd'. Libero always uses this date format for short dates.
$time: The current time in a shortened form: 'hh:mm'.
$fulldate: The current date in a long form: 'dd Mmm, yyyy'. The month is abbreviated to 3 letters, in English.
$fulltime: The current time including seconds: 'hh:mm:ss'.
$out_count: The number of lines output so far, including the current line. This starts at 1.
$dialog: The name of the dialog file being processed, without extension.
$schema: The name of the schema being read. This is the value of the -schema option.
$source: The name of the source file for dialog, without an extension. This name is derived as follows: normally, it is the same as the dialog file name. If -plusd was specified, it is formed by adding 'D' to the dialog file name. If -source=xxx was used, this explicitly tells the source name to use.
$style: The value of the -style option.
$defaults: The number of the defaults state, or zero if none was specified.
$events: The number of events in the dialog. This is used to dimension various tables.
$maxaction: The maximum action number (largest vector). This is used to dimension various tables.
$modules: The number of modules in the dialog. This is used to dimension various tables.
$states: The number of states in the dialog. This is used to dimension various tables.
$vectors: The number of action vectors in the dialog.
$version: The current Libero version number as 4 characters: 'n.nn'; e.g. '2.32'.

Additionally, you can use $comma, $name, $number, $offset, $tally, $row, and $overflow within a :do block. These variables are explained later. You cannot define a variable with the name of a standard Libero variable.
