NAME
       pcb_backannotate - backannotates changes from a PCB annotation file to
       schematic

SYNOPSIS
       pcb_backannotate -h|--help

       pcb_backannotate -V|--version

       pcb_backannotate [options] ecofile.eco infile1.sch [infile2.sch ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The pcb_backannotate program reads an engineering change order (ECO)
       file generated by the PCB program and backannotates the requested
       changes to a gschem schematic or schematics.  Refer to the PCB manual
       for a complete description of the ECO file format.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              prints help message and exits

       -n, --nocopy
              Leave the modified schematic files in new files whose names are
              generated by appending .new to the original file names.  The
              default is to overwrite the original.

       -v, --verbose
              operate verbosely

       -V, --version
              prints version information and exits

EXIT STATUS
       pcb_backannotate will return 0 if all files processed successfully,
       non-zero if the command did not complete successfully.

BUGS
       Rather than parsing and processing schematic files directly, this
       utility should be rewritten using the gEDA scheme API.  This would take
       advantage of the existing parsers for the schematic files.
