NAME¶

xschem - schematic capture and netlisting EDA tool

SYNPOSIS¶

xschem [options] [inputfile]

DECSRIPTION¶

Xschem is a schematic capture program, it allows creation of hierarchical representation of circuits with a top down approach.

OPTIONS¶

-h

Print help screen and exit.

-n

do a netlist of the given schematic cell

-v

set netlist type to VHDL

-w

set netlist type to verilog

-t

set netlist type to tedax

-s

set netlist type to SPICE

-3

set page size for printing to A3

-x

dont use X (only command mode)

-i

Do not read any system or user configuration files (xschemrc)

-z

use a raibow-looking layer color table

-W

show simulation waveforms

-f

set flat netlist (for spice format only)

-r

start without the tclreadline package (this is necessary if stdin and stdout are to be redirected for example to /dev/null).

-c

set color postscript

-p

print schematic

-S

simulate schematic

-q

quit after doing things (no interactive mode)

-l ile

set a log file

-d evel

set debug level: 1, 2, 3, n sets C program debug, -1, -2, -3, -n sets TCL frontend debug
