NAME¶
pcb_backannotate - backannotates changes from a PCB annotation file to
schematic
SYNOPSIS¶
pcb_backannotate -h|--help
pcb_backannotate -V|--version
pcb_backannotate [options]
ecofile.eco infile1.sch [infile2.sch
...]
DESCRIPTION¶
The
pcb_backannotate program reads an engineering change order (ECO) file
generated by the PCB program and backannotates the requested changes to a
gschem schematic or schematics. Refer to the PCB manual for a complete
description of the ECO file format.
OPTIONS¶
- -h, --help
- prints help message and exits
- -n, --nocopy
- Leave the modified schematic files in new files whose names are generated
by appending .new to the original file names. The default is to
overwrite the original.
- -v, --verbose
- operate verbosely
- -V, --version
- prints version information and exits
EXIT STATUS¶
pcb_backannotate will return
0 if all files processed
successfully,
non-zero if the command did not complete successfully.
BUGS¶
Rather than parsing and processing schematic files directly, this utility should
be rewritten using the gEDA scheme API. This would take advantage of the
existing parsers for the schematic files.
