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.
