Running gnetlist

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:

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.
