+Icarus Verilog is a Verilog simulation and synthesis tool. It operates as
+a compiler, compiling source code written in Verilog (IEEE-1364) into some
+target format. For batch simulation, the compiler can generate an intermediate
+form called vvp assembly. This intermediate form is executed by the 'vvp'
+command. For synthesis, the compiler generates netlists in the desired format.
