NAME

       pcb_backannotate - backannotates changes from a PCB annotation file to schematic

SYNOPSIS

       pcb_backannotate -h|--help

       pcb_backannotate -V|--version

       pcb_backannotate [options] ecofile.eco infile1.sch [infile2.sch ...]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -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

EXIT STATUS

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

BUGS

       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.
