Filter signals to be dumped to the wave file according to the wave option
file provided.
+ Here is a description of the wave option file format :
+
+ $ version = 1.0 # Optional
+
+ # Signals in packages :
+ my_pkg.global_signal_a
+
+ # Signals in entities :
+ /top/sub/clk
+
+
+.. option:: --write-opt-file=<FILENAME>
+
+ If the wave option file doesn't exist, creates it with all the signals of
+ the design. Otherwise throws an error, because it won't erase an existing
+ file.
