+- The module attribute ``abc_box_id`` specifies a positive integer linking a
+  blackbox or whitebox definition to a corresponding entry in a `abc9`
+  box-file.
+
+- The port attribute ``abc_scc_break`` indicates a module input port that will
+  be treated as a primary output during `abc9` techmapping. Doing so eliminates
+  the possibility of a strongly-connected component (i.e. a combinatorial loop)
+  existing. Typically, this is specified for sequential inputs on otherwise
+  combinatorial boxes -- for example, applying ``abc_scc_break`` onto the `D`
+  port of a LUTRAM cell prevents `abc9` from interpreting any `Q` -> `D` paths
+  as a combinatorial loop.
+
+- The port attribute ``abc_carry_in`` and ``abc_carry_out`` attributes mark
+  the carry-in and carry-out ports of a box. This information is necessary for
+  `abc9` to preserve the integrity of carry-chains.
