NAME

       garchive - create and extract gEDA design archives

SYNOPSIS

       garchive [ options ] [-o output_file ] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       garchive creates and extracts gEDA designs from an archive. The two modes of operation are
       "archive mode" (archive creation) and "extract  mode".   In  archive  mode  it  creates  a
       project  archive  from a bunch of project files, and in extract mode it extracts the files
       from the archive and places them in the local dir.

       Archive mode is the default.

OPTIONS

       -f filename
              Optional.  Used in archive mode.  Read files to archive from <filename> instead  of
              garchiverc.

       -v     Verbose mode.

       -e     Extract the archive specified on the command line.

       -a     Create an archive. This is the default.

       -o outfile
              Optional.   Used  in  archive mode.  Specifies the name of the output archive file.
              The output file extension should be ".tar.gz".  If this flag is not specified,  the
              output file name is "ProjectArchive.tar.gz".

EXAMPLES

       To create an archive named MyArchive.tar.gz (the files to store listed in garchiverc):

              garchive -o MyArchive.tar.gz

       Verbosely  create an archive (archives files listed on cmd line as well as those listed in
       garchiverc):

              garchive -v -o MyArchive.tar.gz README Schematic1.sch Schematic2.sch Schematic3.sch

       Extract an archive:

              garchive -e ProjectArchive.tar.gz
