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, --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/Verilog/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, not 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).
- -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/share/xschem/xschemrc
-
default configuration.
- ~/.xschem/xschemrc
-
user configuration; if exists overrides settings from default configuration; may be partial: settings not overridden will remain as set from the system config.
- ./xschemrc
-
local/per-project configuration; if exists overrides settings from the user configuration and default configuration.
- /usr/share/xschem/systemlib
-
builtin essentials, such as font and missing symbol graphics.
- /usr/share/xschem/utile
