The goal of the HCT is to generate scores that represent the complexity of
 the constituent modules of large IC design projects – i.e. SOCs. The
 design's complexity scores are useful to verification teams so as to
 efficiently focus resources based on the dynamic complexity profile of a
 design. The scores are a useful tool to guide HDL designer's refactoring
 efforts. This data provides an efficient way to "come up to speed", by
 pointing you to the most important modules of a legacy design.
 Importantly, the complexity scores allow managers to estimate schedules
 and resources in a more robust and effective way than any one standard
 metric can provide (SLOC for example).

You can run "hct" on individual verilog, vhdl files or pass a
directory containing these files as an argument.

For example:

$ hct gen_signal.vhdl
Directory: /home/shaks/rpmbuild/SOURCES/hct-0.7.60/test/lang/vhdl

vhdl, 1 file(s)
+--------------------+--------------+------+-------+----------+--------+
| FILENAME           | MODULE       | IO   | NET   | MCCABE   | TIME   |
+--------------------+--------------+------+-------+----------+--------+
| gen_signal.vhdl                     13     0       1          0.4773 |
|                      GEN_SIGNAL     13     0       1                 |
