read_def filename
where filename is the name of a DEF format file containing the description of a standard cell layout, including information on routing tracks, cells and their placement, pins, and nets (without placement information).
The read_def command reads information from a DEF format file that contains a description of the layout and netlist to be routed.The read_def command must be issued once for qrouter to begin routing. If read_def is issued again, qrouter will perform a complete reinitialization, and may accept an entirely new layout to route.
The read_def command can only be given after qrouter has read information about the technology, either by reading the configuration file, or by reading a LEF file with the technology information.
read_def is implemented as a built-in command in qrouter.
