NAME

       refdes_renum - gEDA/gaf refdes renumbering utility

SYNOPSIS

       refdes_renum [--nocopy] [--pgskip [ number ] ] file1 ...

       refdes_renum --help

       refdes_renum --version

DESCRIPTION

       refdes_renum  reads  a  gschem  schematic  file  or  files  and renumbers all reference designators.  The
       reference designators are numbered starting with 1 and the old schematic file is replaced by the modified
       schematic file.

OPTIONS

       --help Display a help message.

       --nocopy
              If given, this flag leaves the modified files in new files whose names are generated by  appending
              a `.renum' to the original file names.  The default is to overwrite the original.

       --pgskip
              When  this  flag  is used, components on the first schematic sheet are numbered starting with 101.
              On the second sheet, they start with 201, etc  Specifying a value gives the  step  between  pages.
              For example --pgskip 10 will start with 11, 21, 31, etc.

       --gentle
              This  flag  tells refdes_renum to leave any refdeses alone if they already have numbers.  Use this
              option to number new components in a  schematic  which  has  already  been  numbered.   Note  that
              --gentle is set by default!

       --force
              Set this flag to renumber all refdeses, whether they are already numbered or not.

       --verbose
              Enables verbose output.

       --version
              Shows the version of this program.

RETURN CODES

       refdes_renum returns the following codes to the shell upon completion:

       0      Program ran successfully.

       1      Error opening or reading input file.

       2      Error opening or writing output file.

       3      Too many components for --pgskip setting.

       4      Internal error (program bug encountered).

EXAMPLES

       To renumber the reference designators in a single page schematic mysch.sch:

              refdes_renum mysch.sch

       To renumber the reference designators in schematic pages pg1.sch, pg2.sch and pg3.sch, with the reference
       designators on pg1.sch beginning at 101, the designators on pg2.sch beginning at 201, and the designators
       on pg3.sch beginning at 301:

              refdes_renum --pgskip pg1.sch pg2.sch pg3.sch
