Usage

Overview

garchive creates and extracts gEDA designs from an archive. The two modes of operation are "archive mode" (archive creation) and "extract mode". In archive mode it creates a project archive from a bunch of project files, and in extract mode it extracts the files from the archive and places them in the local dir.

Archive mode is the default.

Options

-f filename

Optional. Used in archive mode. Read files to archive from <filename> instead of garchiverc.

-v

-e

Extract the archive specified on the command line.

-a

Create an archive. This is the default.

-o outfile
