The Verilog Pli Handbook

The Programming Language Interface (PLI) is a standout feature of Verilog, enabling users to enhance the language and its simulator significantly. This flexibility allows for the development of third-party add-on products, such as graphical waveform displays and analysis tools, which can be utilized across various Verilog simulators. By leveraging the PLI, hardware design engineers can customize their simulation environments, integrating unique software solutions to visualize simulation results dynamically, regardless of the simulator vendor.
