Help on operating point file in SMASH tool

[ruwan2]

Hi,

I just play with SMASH on its tutorial example project. It generates an operating file: rc.op.

There is blue color capital words: END_USE_OP_TAG

I don't know what purpose of this word. Is the operating point file a format defined document?

Or it is just a report file?
