NAME

       fped - Footprint editor

SYNOPSIS

       fped   [-k] [-p|-P [-s scale]] [-T [-T]] [cpp_option ...] [in_file [out_file]]

DESCRIPTION

       fped  is an editor that allows the interactive creation of footprints of electronic components. Footprint
       definitions are stored in a  text  format  that  resembles  a  programming  language.   The  language  is
       constrained such that anything that can be expressed in the textual definition also has a straightforward
       equivalent  operation that can be performed through the GUI.  A description of the GUI can be found here:
