  21 NAME
  22        gschem - gEDA/gaf Schematic Capture
  23
  24 SYNOPSIS
  25        gschem  [-q]  [-v] [-t] [-r rcfilename] [-s scriptfilename] [-o output-
  26        filename] [-p] [schematic1 ... schematicN]
  27
  28 DESCRIPTION
  29        gschem is the schematic capture program which is part gEDA  (GPL  Elec-
  30        tronic  Design Automation) toolset.  This program is used to draw elec-
  31        tronic schematics.  Schematics consist of standard symbols  (which  are
  32        either  part of a standard library or created by the user) which repre-
  33        sent the various gates  and  components.   These  components  are  then
  34        interconnected  by  nets  (wires).   Schematics  may  be  printed  to a
  35        PostScript file for printing or further conversion to other output for-
  36        mats.
  37
  38        gschem is also the symbol creation editor.  All the standard methods of
  39        creating schematics are used in the creation of symbols.  There  are  a
  40        few  special  rules when creating symbols, so please refer to the (non-
  41        existant as of now) symbol creation document.
  42
  43        Please read the official documentation (very minimal at this point)  on
  44        how  to use gschem, since this man page just describes the command line
  45        arguments and a few examples on how to run gschem.
  46
  47
  48 OPTIONS
  49        gschem accepts the following options:
  50
  51        -q      Quiet mode on.  This mode  turns  off  all  warnings/notes/mes-
  52                sages. (optional)
  53
  54        -v      Verbose  mode on.  This mode gives as much feedback to the user
  55                as possible. (optional)
  56
  57        -t      Print out more information when using mouse strokes.  With this
  58                command  line  flag  and the middle button configured for mouse
  59                strokes, gschem will output the stroke sequence numbers as  the
  60                user executes strokes.  These numbers can be used to define new
  61                strokes in the system-gschemrc file.
  62
  63        -r filename
  64                Specify a rc filename.  Normally gschem searches for  the  sys-
  65                tem-gschemrc, then ~/.gEDA/gschemrc, and finally for a gschemrc
  66                in the current directory.  This  options  allows  the  user  to
  67                specify an additional rc file which is read after all the other
  68                rc files are read. (optional)
  69
  70        -s filename
  71                Specify a guile script to be executed at startup. (optional)
  72
  73        -o filename
  74                Specify a filename for postscript output.   This  command  line
  75                argument  is useful when running gschem from a shell script and
  76                with a guile script.  The filename can be changed  through  the
  77                print dialog box.
  78
  79        -p      Automatically  place  the  window, especially useful if running
  80                gschem from the command line and generating output.
  81
  82        schematic1 [... schematicN]
  83                Schematic file to be loaded.  Specifing  a  schematic  file  is
  84                optional.   If  multiple schematic files are specified they are
  85                read in sequentially and put on seperate pages.  It  is  impor-
  86                tant that the schematic(s) follow all the options (ie last).
  87
  88
  89 EXAMPLES
  90        These  examples  assume that you have a schematic called stack_1.sch in
  91        the current directory
  92
  93        To run gschem and then interact with the program:
  94
  95             ./gschem
  96
  97        To run gschem in interactive mode but load a sample schematic:
  98
  99             ./gschem adders_1.sch
 100
 101        To run gschem and load up all schematics in the current subdirectory:
 102
 103             ./gschem *.sch
 104
 105
 106 ENVIRONMENT
 107        No environment variables are used.
