It is very easy to run gnetlist. gnetlist is a pure command line
interface so there is no pesky GUI to get in the way :-) For a list of
command line arguments please run ``gnetlist -h''.
You need to specify the following two parameters to run gnetlists:
- -g proc (this specifies which backend to run against the schematics)
- filename.sch (this specifies the schematic files)
You can specify multiple schematics on the command line. The default
filename for the generated netlist goes into "output.net" You can
change this default location by using the -o filename option.
A few examples on running gnetlist:
gnetlist -g geda -o stack.net stack\_1.sch
(output netlist (in stack.net) for stack_1.sch using the gEDA native
format)
There are also a few debugging flags. The first one is the -v
flag which enables verbose mode. Verbose mode outputs a whole bunch
of information on what gnetlist is doing as well a dump of the
internal representation. The -i flag which puts gnetlist into a
interactive mode is very useful in debugging scheme backends and
typically is not used by the end user.
For a detailed list of command line arguments please see the gnetlist
man page.
