Backannotates changes from a pcb annotation file to schematic
pcb_backannotate -h\||--help
pcb_backannotate -V\||--version
pcb_backannotate [options] ecofile.eco infile1.sch [infile2.sch ...]
The pcb_backannotate program reads an engineering change order (ECO) file generated by the PCB program and backannotates the requested changes to a gschem schematic or schematics. Refer to the PCB manual for a complete description of the ECO file format.
-h, --help
prints help message and exits
-n, --nocopy
Leave the modified schematic files in new files whose names are generated by appending .new to the original file names. The default is to overwrite the original.
-v, --verbose
operate verbosely
-V, --version
prints version information and exits
pcb_backannotate will return 0 if all files processed successfully, non-zero if the command did not complete successfully.
Rather than parsing and processing schematic files directly, this utility should be rewritten using the gEDA scheme API. This would take advantage of the existing parsers for the schematic files.
