       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 syntax,
       invalid values, etc...)

     * Checks for obsolete, old, and forbidden attributes

     * Checks for any nets or buses within a symbol

     symbol1 [... symbolN]
	     At least one symbol file must be specified.   If  multiple  symbols
	     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

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