NAME

       lepton-pcb_backannotate - back-annotates changes from a PCB annotation file to schematic

SYNOPSIS

       lepton-pcb_backannotate -h|--help

       lepton-pcb_backannotate -V|--version

       lepton-pcb_backannotate [options] ecofile.eco infile1.sch ...

DESCRIPTION

       The lepton-pcb_backannotate program reads an engineering change order (ECO) file generated
       by the PCB program (using the Renumber() action) and back-annotates the requested  changes
       to  a  lepton-schematic  schematic(s).  Currently it supports back annotation of reference
       designators (refdes).

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

       lepton-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 Lepton EDA scheme API.  This would  take  advantage  of  the  existing
       parsers for the schematic files.
