# lepton-symfix(1)

automatically fix common issues with Lepton EDA symbols

## NAME

lepton-symfix - automatically fix common issues with Lepton EDA symbols

## SYNOPSIS

**lepton-symfix \[** *options* **\]** *symbol\_file*

## DESCRIPTION

**lepton-symfix** reads a Lepton EDA symbol file and does the following:

- •

  prints a warning if there is no pinnumber attribute on a pin;

- •

  Renumbers pinseq attributes on all pins, starting with 1;

- •

  Adds a pinseq attribute to a pin if none exists;

- •

  Adds a pinlabel=n\_a attribute to a pin if none exists;

- •

  Adds a pintype=io attribute to a pin if none exists;

- •

  Adds a numslots=0 attribute to the symbol if none exists;

- •

  Adds a device=XXX attribute to the symbol if none exists;

- •

  Adds a footprint=XXX attribute to the symbol if none exists.

The idea here is to fix common cut-and-paste issues and fix up the symbol so that it will pass [**lepton-symcheck**(1)](/lepton-symcheck/1.md) with no errors or warnings.

## OPTIONS

**lepton-symfix** accepts the following options:

- **-h**, **--help**

  Displays this help message.

- **--verbose**

  Enables verbose output.

- **--vverbose**

  Enables \*very\* verbose output.
