  • Is there a verilog syntax beginning with '$'?

    From Robert Willy@21:1/5 to All on Sat Sep 29 13:34:29 2018
    Hi, everyone:
    Verilog is not my daily design tool, but it is required a general familiarity in a job interview. I once noticed a verilog syntax beginning with '$'. I had found online forum discussing about it, but I can't remember the detail syntax now.

    Could you verilog expert tell me such a usage ('$____')?


    Thanks,

    Thanks,

    Surely, it is not about $display, $write etc. It is a not usual usage, but I want to know it now.
