<H2>addpath</H2>
<HR>
Append to current search path
<HR>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>addpath</B> [<I>path</I>] <BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>path</I> is the path of a directory to add to the
list of directories searched for layout cells, relative to
the current working directory.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>addpath</B> command is used to control which directories
magic searches when attempting to read an undefined cell. It
can only be used to append new directories to the existing
search path (see below). This command is most often used when
groups of subcells such as a standard-cell library or padframe
library is kept in a separate place from the rest of the layout.
In such cases it is convenient to put this command in the
<B>.magic</B> file in the layout directory to ensure that all
cells required by the layout are accessible at runtime.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>addpath</B> is a <B>magic</B> built-in command. It is
retained for backwards compatibility, but is superceded by
the <B>path</B> command, which allows complete control over
the layout search path contents, as well as other search
paths used by <B>magic</B>.
