-Sometimes it is useful to export files from the ACT format to other formats to interact with external tools. Examples of such formats include Verilog and SPICE. Since these are different languages, they use different syntax for identifiers. (Different commercial SPICE simulators use different identifier syntax too.) ACT identifiers and names include characters including ''['', '']'', ''.'', ''<'', ''>'' (among others). The ACT library provides a generic //name mangling// feature that can be used to convert them into identifiers that only use alphanumeric characters (i.e. basic C-style identifiers). The ''mangle_chars'' string specifies which characters should be //mangled//. Up to 36 characters can be mangled. By default, the ''_'' character is used to mangle characters. If this needs to be changed, then a different character can be set by modifying the ''mangle_letter'' setting.
