According to the operation performed by access routines, they are classified into 6 categories as shown below.
Fetch: These routines return a variety of information about different objects in the design hierarchy.
Handle : These routines return handles to a variety of objects in the design hierarchy.
Modify : These routines alter the values of a variety of objects in the design hierarchy.
Next : When used inside a loop construct, next routines find each object of a given type that is related to a particular reference object in the design hierarchy.
Utility : These routines perform a variety of operations, such as initializing and configuring the access routine environment.
Vcl : The Value Change Link (VCL) allows a PLI application to monitor the value changes of selected objects.
