Well, it is in the man page, which is where I tend to look for information on command line usage: /--------------------- $man lyx (..) OPTIONS (..) -e [--export] fmt where fmt is the export format of choice. Look on Tools->Preferences->File formats->Format to get an idea which parameters should be passed. \-------------------- By the way, some of the geda tools lack a man page. Is this intentional, or just due to a lack of developer cycles? tools with a man page: gschem, gerbv, gnucap, gnetlist grenum gsymcheck tools withouta man page: gattrib, gsch2pcb, xgsch2pcb gschlas (*) gschemdoc gschupdate (*) gsymupdate (*) gxyrs (*) mk_verilog_syms (*) olib (*) pads_backannotate (*) refdes_renum sarlacc_schem (*) sarlacc_sym (*) sch2eaglepos.sh (*) smash_megafile (*) sw2asc (*) tragesym (What do the tools marked with (*) actually do?) The man page of pcb is hardly useful. It mainly points to pcb.pdf on the local hard disk. The copyright notice suggests the pdf was compiled in 2002. Unfortunately, this means, the table of command line options is mostly wrong. Is the appendix on the pcb file format still correct? ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
