<p><i>gschem</i> is the schematic capture program which is
part gEDA (GPL Electronic Design Automation) toolset. This
program is used to draw electronic schematics. Schematics
consist of standard symbols (which are either part of a
standard library or created by the user) which represent the
various gates and components. These components are then
interconnected by nets (wires). Schematics may be printed to
a PostScript file for printing or further conversion to
other output formats. Output to various image formats is
also supported.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p><i>gschem</i> is also the symbol creation editor. All the
standard methods of creating schematics are used in the
creation of symbols. There are a few special rules when
creating symbols, so please refer to the (non-existant as of
now) symbol creation document.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>Please read the official documentation (very minimal at
this point) on how to use <i>gschem</i>, since this man page
just describes the command line arguments and a few examples
on how to run <i>gschem</i>.</p>

<p>Print out more information when using mouse strokes.
With this command line flag and the middle button configured
for mouse strokes, gschem will output the stroke sequence
numbers as the user executes strokes. These numbers can be
used to define new strokes in the system-gschemrc file.</p>
