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
