gschem(1)			 1.8.2.20130925 		       gschem(1)

NAME
     gschem - gEDA/gaf Schematic Capture

SYNOPSIS
     gschem [OPTION ...] [--] [FILE ...]

DESCRIPTION
     gschem  is  a  schematic  capture application, and is part of the gEDA (GPL
     Electronic Design Automation) toolset.   It  is  used  to	draw  electronic
     schematics, which describe the logical structure of an circuit.  Schematics
     are  made up of symbols, which represent the various components in the cir-
     cuit, and are obtained either from a standard library  or	created  by  the
     user.   The  connections  between	components  represented by nets (wires).
     Schematics may be printed to a PostScript file for printing or further con-
     version to other output formats.  Output to various image formats	is  also
     supported.

     gschem can also be used for editing symbols for use in schematics.

OPTIONS
     -q, --quiet
	     Quiet mode. Turn off all warnings/notes/messages.

     -v, --verbose
	     Verbose mode.  Output all diagnostic information.

     -r, --config-file=FILE
	     Specify an additional configuration file.	Normally gschem searches
	     for the system configuration file, then `$HOME/.gEDA/gschemrc', and
	     finally  for  a  `gschemrc'  file in the current working directory.
	     This option allows the user to specify an additional rc file  which
	     is read after all the other rc files have been are read.

     -L DIRECTORY
	     Prepend  DIRECTORY  to  the  list of directories to be searched for
	     Scheme files.

     -s FILE
	     Specify a Scheme script to be executed at startup.

     -c EXPR
	     Specify a Scheme expression to be evaluated at startup.

     -o, --output=FILE
	     Specify a filename for PostScript output.	This command line  argu-
	     ment  is  useful when running gschem from a shell script and with a
	     Scheme script.  The filename can be changed through the print  dia-
	     log box.

     -p      Automatically  place  the	window.  This  may  be useful if running
	     gschem from the command line and generating output.

     -h, --help
	     Print a help message.

     -V, --version
	     Print gschem version information.

     --      Treat all remaining arguments as  schematic  or  symbol  filenames.
	     Use  this	if  you have a schematic or symbol filename which begins
	     with `-'.

SCHEMATIC AND SYMBOL FILES
     Optionally, schematic or symbol FILEs may be specified on the command line.
     Any schematic or symbols specified are loaded at startup as separate  docu-
     ments in the schematic editor.

     If no FILEs are specified, a blank schematic is created for editing.

ENVIRONMENT
     GEDADATA
	     specifies	the  search  directory for Scheme and rc files.  The de-
	     fault is `${prefix}/share/gEDA'.

     GEDADATARC
	     specifies the search  directory  for  rc  files.	The  default  is
	     `$GEDADATA'.
