save

Usage:

save [filename]

where filename is a new name for the cell as well as the root name of the .mag file to be saved.

Summary:

The save command saves the current edit cell to disk. If filename is specified, then the layout will be saved to "filename.mag", and the current edit cell will be renamed to filename.

The save command differs from writeall in several ways: save does not descend the hierarchy, and does not prompt the user for an action.

As of magic version 8.3.549, if filename ends with ".tcl", then magic will save a script file containing a sequence of magic command-line commands that completely reproduces the file layout. The cell can then be regenerated by sourcing the script. This is not a substitution for a database (.mag) file, and magic will not normally search for or source these type of script files itself.

Implementation Notes:

save is implemented as a built-in command in magic.
