+ is run in ``-pwires`` mode).
+
+- Wires marked with the ``hierconn`` attribute are connected to wires with the
+ same name (format ``cell_name.identifier``) when they are imported from
+ sub-modules by ``flatten``.
+
+- The ``clkbuf_driver`` attribute can be set on an output port of a blackbox
+ module to mark it as a clock buffer output, and thus prevent ``clkbufmap``
+ from inserting another clock buffer on a net driven by such output.
+
+- The ``clkbuf_sink`` attribute can be set on an input port of a module to
+ request clock buffer insertion by the ``clkbufmap`` pass.
+
+- The ``clkbuf_inv`` attribute can be set on an output port of a module
+ with the value set to the name of an input port of that module. When
+ the ``clkbufmap`` would otherwise insert a clock buffer on this output,
+ it will instead try inserting the clock buffer on the input port (this
+ is used to implement clock inverter cells that clock buffer insertion
+ will "see through").
+
+- The ``clkbuf_inhibit`` is the default attribute to set on a wire to prevent
+ automatic clock buffer insertion by ``clkbufmap``. This behaviour can be
+ overridden by providing a custom selection to ``clkbufmap``.
+
+- The ``invertible_pin`` attribute can be set on a port to mark it as
+ invertible via a cell parameter. The name of the inversion parameter
+ is specified as the value of this attribute. The value of the inversion
+ parameter must be of the same width as the port, with 1 indicating
+ an inverted bit and 0 indicating a non-inverted bit.
+
+- The ``iopad_external_pin`` attribute on a blackbox module's port marks
+ it as the external-facing pin of an I/O pad, and prevents ``iopadmap``
+ from inserting another pad cell on it.
+
+- The module attribute ``abc9_box_id`` specifies a positive integer linking a
+ blackbox or whitebox definition to a corresponding entry in a `abc9`
+ box-file.
+
+- The port attribute ``abc9_carry`` marks the carry-in (if an input port) and
+ carry-out (if output port) ports of a box. This information is necessary for
+ `abc9` to preserve the integrity of carry-chains. Specifying this attribute
+ onto a bus port will affect only its most significant bit.
+
+- The port attribute ``abc9_arrival`` specifies an integer (for output ports
+ only) to be used as the arrival time of this sequential port. It can be used,
+ for example, to specify the clk-to-Q delay of a flip-flop for consideration
+ during techmapping.
+
+- The module attribute ``abc9_flop`` is a boolean marking the module as a
+ whitebox that describes the synchronous behaviour of a flip-flop.
+
+- The frontend sets attributes ``always_comb``, ``always_latch`` and
+ ``always_ff`` on processes derived from SystemVerilog style always blocks
+ according to the type of the always. These are checked for correctness in
+ ``proc_dlatch``.
- In addition to the ``(* ... *)`` attribute syntax, Yosys supports
the non-standard ``{* ... *}`` attribute syntax to set default attributes
expressions over parameters and constant values are allowed). The intended
use for this is synthesis-time DRC.
