Verilog Procedural Interface

The Verilog Procedural Interface (VPI) is a library for the C programming language. It allows behavioral Verilog code to invoke C functions, and C functions to invoke standard Verilog system tasks. VPI is also known as PLI 2, since it replaces the deprecated Program Language Interface (PLI).
