.B gsymfix [
.I options
.B ]
.I symbol_file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B gsymfix
reads a gEDA symbol file and does the following:
.IP \(bu
prints a warning if there is no pinnumber attribute on a pin;
.IP \(bu
Renumbers pinseq attributes on all pins, starting with 1;
.IP \(bu
Adds a pinseq attribute to a pin if none exists;
.IP \(bu
Adds a pinlabel=n_a attribute to a pin if none exists;
.IP \(bu
Adds a pintype=io attribute to a pin if none exists;
.IP \(bu
Adds a numslots=0 attribute to the symbol if none exists;
.IP \(bu
Adds a device=XXX attribute to the symbol if none exists;
.IP \(bu
Adds a footprint=XXX attribute to the symbol if none exists.

The idea here is to fix common cut-and-paste issues and fix up
the symbol so that it will pass
.BR gsymcheck (1)
with no errors or
warnings.
