README

svlint

SystemVerilog linter compliant with IEEE1800-2017. Written in Rust, based on sv-parser. Svlint is also integrated with most text editors via svls.

svlint

Installation

svlint can be installed in several ways:

  • Download a release, extract, and add the bin/ directory to your $PATH. A PDF copy of the MANUAL is included in the doc/ directory.
  • If you have a Rust toolchain, then you can install the binary with cargo, via cargo install svlint. This will copy the svlint binary (and the dev-only mdgen binary) to (usually) ~/.cargo/bin, but not the wrapper scripts (e.g. svlint-parseonly) or pre-written configurations (e.g. parseonly.toml) from rulesets/.
  • snapcraft, via sudo snap install svlint.

Usage

To see information about the command line interface use svlint --help, and to see which version you're running use svlint --version.

Further information on how svlint works, how to configure it, and other usage information is in the manual.
