NAME
       gsymcheck - gEDA/gaf Symbol Checker

SYNOPSIS
       gsymcheck [-h] [-v] [-q] symbol1 [... symbolN]

DESCRIPTION
       gsymcheck  is  a symbol checker for gEDA/gaf.  Here is a list of checks
       that gsymcheck performs:

       · Checks for graphical= attribute (if present does varied tests)

       · Checks for the device= attribute

       · Checks for various other missing attributes (pinlabel, pintype,  pin‐
	 seq, footprint, refdes)

       · Checks to make sure that the active pin end is on the 100 unit grid.

       · Checks the uses of the various attributes (duplicates, incorrect syn‐
	 tax, invalid values, etc...)

       · Checks for obsolete, old, and forbidden attributes

       · Checks for any nets or buses within a symbol

       · Checks for any other connections within a symbol

       · Checks to make sure the number of pins is the correct number

OPTIONS
       gsymcheck accepts the following options:

       -q      Quiet mode on.  This mode  turns	 off  all  warnings/notes/mes‐
	       sages. (optional)

       -v      Verbose	mode  1.   This	 mode  will  show  all	error messages
	       (optional)

       -vv     Verbose mode 2.	This mode will show all error and warning mes‐
	       sages (optional)

       -vvv    Verbose	mode  2.   This mode will show all error, warning, and
	       info messages (optional)

       -h      Usage summary / gsymcheck help

       symbol1 [... symbolN]
	       At least one symbol file must be specified.  If	multiple  sym‐
	       bols  are  specified  then  they	 are  sequentially read in and
	       checked.	 It is important that the schematic(s) follow all  the
	       options (ie last).

EXAMPLES
       Here are some examples on how to run gsymcheck:

       To get usage information just run:

	     gsymcheck

       To actually check a symbol with just error counts, run:

	    gsymcheck symbolfilename.sym

       To get the actuall error messages, run:

	    gsymcheck -v symbolfilename.sym

       To see all the error messages and warnings, run:

	    gsymcheck -vv symbolfilename.sym

       To see all the error messages, warnings, and parse info, run:

	    gsymcheck -vvv symbolfilename.sym

ENVIRONMENT
       gsymcheck respects the following environment variable:

       GEDADATA
	       specifies  where	 the  various required scheme and rc files are
	       located (the default is ${prefix}/share/gEDA).	This  environ‐
	       ment  variables	does not need to be set by the end user unless
	       they are moving the executables to a new install ${prefix}.
