General form:

.LIB filename libname

Examples:

.LIB /users/spice/common/mosfets.lib mos1

The .LIB statement allows to include library descriptions into the input file. Inside the *.lib file a library libname will be selected. The statements of each library inside the *.lib file are enclosed in .LIB libname <...> .ENDL statements.

If the compatibility mode (16.13) is set to 'ps' by set ngbehavior=ps (17.7) in spinit (16.5) or .spiceinit (16.6), then a simplified syntax .LIB filename is available: a warning is issued and filename is simply included as described in Chapt. 2.6.
