1 GENERAL STRUCTURE
The first row of the file contains the keywords that define the order of the parameters in the following
lines. Keywords are separated with semicolon or tabulator character.
Other rows in the file contain the cell definitions. Each line describes one cell and contains a set of
parameters describing the cell as well as the site in which the cell resides. For both site and cell
information, there are both mandatory parameters and optional parameters. Site and cell parameters
are separated with semicolon or tabulator character.
The file format supports three data types: integer, float and string. Integer type is defined as a numeric
value without dot character. Float type is defined as a numeric value with dot character. String type is
defined as a set of any printable ASCII characters except semicolon.
