For example, a normal command to run gnetlist on a design in order to generate a list of components used might look like this: </p> <pre class="code">gnetlist -g bom2 -o stepper.bom power-supply.sch motor-drive.sch</pre> <p> To run gnetlist, you will usually need to <a href="geda-gnetlist_ug-input_output_files.html" class="wikilink1" title="geda-gnetlist_ug-input_output_files.html">specify a list of schematic files</a> to process; choose a <em><a href="geda-gnetlist_ug-netlist_backends.html" class="wikilink1" title="geda-gnetlist_ug-netlist_backends.html">netlist backend</a></em> to use to generate the output; and provide the name of the <a href="geda-gnetlist_ug-input_output_files.html" class="wikilink1" title="geda-gnetlist_ug-input_output_files.html">output file</a> in which to save the netlist. </p> <p> gnetlist accepts a variety of <a href="geda-gnetlist_ug-command_line.html" class="wikilink1" title="geda-gnetlist_ug-command_line.html">optional arguments</a> that can be used to alter its behaviour. They are also explained in the gnetlist manpage (which you can view by running <code>man gnetlist</code>). </p> </div> <!-- EDIT2171 SECTION "Running gnetlist" [181-] --></body> </html>
