DESCRIPTION

20       The pcb_backannotate program reads an engineering  change  order  (ECO)
21       file  generated  by  the  PCB  program  and backannotates the requested
22       changes to a gschem schematic or schematics.  Refer to the  PCB  manual
23       for a complete description of the ECO file format.

OPTIONS

27       -h, --help
28              prints help message and exits
29
30       -n, --nocopy
31              Leave  the modified schematic files in new files whose names are
32              generated by appending .new to the  original  file  names.   The
33              default is to overwrite the original.
34
35       -v, --verbose
36              operate verbosely
37
38       -V, --version
39              prints version information and exits

EXIT STATUS

43       pcb_backannotate  will  return  0  if all files processed successfully,
44       non-zero if the command did not complete successfully.

BUGS

48       Rather than parsing and processing schematic files directly, this util‐
49       ity  should  be  rewritten  using the gEDA scheme API.  This would take
50       advantage of the existing parsers for the schematic files.
