 The file is passed as an input to VPR when running with placement constraints. When the file is read in, its information is used during the packing and placement stages of VPR. The hierarchy of the file is set up as follows.

 The top level tag is the ``<vpr_constraints>`` tag. This tag contains one ``<partition_list>`` tag. The ``<partition_list>`` tag can be made up of an unbounded number of ``<partition>`` tags. The ``<partition>`` tags contains all of the detailed information of the placement constraints, and is described in detail below.
