2.10.4. The post_message Command
To print messages that are formatted like Intel® Quartus® Prime software messages, use the post_message command. Messages printed by the post_message command appear in the System tab of the Messages window in the Intel® Quartus® Prime GUI, and are written to standard output when scripts are run. Arguments for the post_message command include an optional message type and a required message string.
The message type can be one of the following:
- info (default)
- extra_info
- warning
- critical_warning
- error
If you do not specify a type, Intel® Quartus® Prime software defaults to info.
With the Intel® Quartus® Prime software in Windows, you can color code messages displayed at the system command prompt with the post_message command. Add the following line to your quartus2.ini file:
DISPLAY_COMMAND_LINE_MESSAGES_IN_COLOR = on
The following example shows how to use the post_message command.
post_message -type warning "Design has gated clocks"
