NAME

       lepton-archive - create and extract Lepton EDA design archives

SYNOPSIS

       lepton-archive [OPTIONS] FILE ...

DESCRIPTION

       lepton-archive  creates  and extracts Lepton EDA 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 directory.

       In archive  mode  the  program  processes  schematic  files  traversing  their  hierarchy,
       collecting and caching all subschematics, symbols and subcircuits specified in the "file="
       attributes.

       Archive mode is the default.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help             Print usage information.
       -v, --verbose          Verbose mode.
       -f, --files-from=FILE  Additionally read filenames to archive from FILE.
       -e, --extract          Extract mode. Mandatory if you want to extract from archive.
       -a, --archive          Archive mode. It is the default mode.
       -o, --output=FILE      Specify the name of the output archive file
                              in archive mode. If FILE has no ".tar.gz" suffix it will be
                              automatically appended.
                              Default file name is "project-archive.tar.gz".

EXAMPLES

       To create an archive named MyArchive.tar.gz, the files to store are  listed  in  "archive-
       list":

              lepton-archive -f archive-list -o MyArchive.tar.gz

       The same by using just file basename:

              lepton-archive -f archive-list -o MyArchive

       Verbosely create an archive from files listed on command line:

              lepton-archive -v README sch1.sch sch2.sch sch3.sch

       Extract an archive:

              lepton-archive -e project-archive.tar.gz
