The !check Command: Database Consistency Check

Syntax: !check
This command will perform a consistency check of the electrical part of the current cell, and report any problems on the console screen. Additionally, all labels which are not associated with a device or other property will become selected. This command is for debugging purposes. These checks are also performed when a new cell is read into Xic, with error messages directed to the log file. If errors are found, in many cases they are repaired. Use the !check command a second time to verify if the condition still exists.

Messages may be added to the convert_rdXXX.lib file produced when a cell is read, if repairs were made as the cell was read.

The functionality of the !terms command is included in the !check command.
