gsymfix(1) automatically fix common issues with gEDA symbols

SYNOPSIS

gsymfix [ options ] symbol_file

DESCRIPTION

gsymfix reads a gEDA 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 gsymcheck(1) with no errors or warnings.

--help
