NAME
       xschem -	schematic capture and netlisting EDA tool

SYNPOSIS
       xschem [options]	[inputfile]

DECSRIPTION
       Xschem is a schematic capture program, it allows	creation of hierarchi-
       cal representation of circuits with a top down approach.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Print help and exit.

       -b, --detach
	      Detach xschem from console (no output and	no input from console)

       -n, --netlist
	      Do a netlist of the given	schematic cell.

       -v, --version
	      Print version information	and exit.

       -V, --vhdl
	      Set netlist type to VHDL.

       -S, --simulate
	      Run  a  simulation  of  the  current  schematc  file (spice/Ver-
	      ilog/VHDL, depending on the netlist type chosen).

       -w, --verilog
	      Set netlist type to Verilog.

       --tcl <tcl_script>
	      Execute specified	tcl instructions before	any other action, this
	      can be used to change xschemrc variables.

       --preinit <file>
	      Execute specified	tcl instructions before	any other  action  and
	      before loading xschemrc.

       --command <tcl_cmd>
	      Execute specified	tcl commands after completing startup.

       --script	<file>
	      Execute  specified  tcl  file  as	a command script (perhaps with
	      xschem  commands).

       --diff <file>
	      Show differences with given file.

       --tcp-port <number>
	      Listen to	specified tcp port  for	 client	 connections.  (number
	      >=1024).

       -i, --no_rcload
	      Do not load any xschemrc file.

       -o, --netlist_path
	      Set output for netlist.

       -N, --netlist_filename
	      Set name (only name or full path)	of top level netlist file.

       -t, --tedax
	      Set netlist type to tEDAx.

       -s, --spice
	      Set netlist type to SPICE.

       -y, --symbol
	      Set netlist type to symbol global	property edit.

       -x, --no_x
	      Dont use X (only command mode).

       -z, --rainbow
	      Use a raibow-looking layer color table.

       -W, --waves
	      Show simulation waveforms.

       -f, --flat_netlist
	      Set flat netlist (for spice format only).

       -r, --no_readline
	      Start  without  the  tclreadline	package	( this is necessary if
	      stdin and	stdout are to be redirected for	example	to /dev/null).

       --pipe if stdin and stdout are to be  redirected.  This	also  prevents
	      xschem from closing stdin	/ stdout / stderr even if invoked from
	      pipes.

       -c, --color_ps
	      Set color	postscript.

       --plotfile <file>
	      Use <file> as output for plot export (png, svg, postscript/pdf)

       --rcfile	<file>
	      Use  <file>  as  a  rc  file  for	startup	instead	of the default
	      xschemrc.

       -p, --postscript, --pdf
	      Export pdf schematic.

       --png  Export png schematic.

       --svg  Export svg schematic.

       -q, --quit
	      Quit after doing things (no interactive mode).

       -l file,	--log file
	      Set a log	file.

       -d n, --debug n
	      Set debug	level: 1, 2, 3,...: C program debug,  -1,  -2,	-3...:
	      TCL frontend debug.

FILES
       /usr/local/share/xschem/xschemrc
	      default configuration.

       ~/.xschem/xschemrc
	      user  configuration;  if	exists overrides settings from default
	      configuration; may be partial: settings not overridden will  re-
	      main as set from the system config.

       ./xschemrc
	      local/per-project	 configuration;	 if  exists overrides settings
	      from the user configuration and default configuration.

       /usr/local/share/xschem/systemlib
	      builtin essentials, such as font and missing symbol graphics.

       /usr/local/share/xschem/utile
	      TODO.
