25 Here is a list of programs that are part of gEDA/gaf (gschem and friends):
27 </p>
28 <ul>
29 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> gschem is the schematic capture program/tool which is part of gEDA. Its sole purpose is to facilitate the graphical input of components/circuits. </div>
30 </li>
31 </ul>
32 <ul>
33 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> gnetlist is a netlist generation program. It takes as input gEDA/gaf .sch (schematic) file and the required .sym (symbol) files and converts them into netlists.</div>
34 </li>
35 </ul>
36 <ul>
37 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> gattrib is gEDA&#039;s attribute editor. It reads a set of gschem .sch files (schematic files), and creates a spreadsheet showing all components in rows, with the associated component attributes listed in the columns. </div>
38 </li>
39 </ul>
40 <ul>
41 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> symbols (on a schematic) are an abstract representation of the physical components used in electronic circuits.</div>
42 </li>
43 </ul>
44 <ul>
45 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> There are many utilities included as part of gEDA/gaf.</div>
46 </li>
47 </ul>
48 <ul>
49 <li class="level1"><div class="li"> gsymcheck is the symbol checker for the gEDA/gaf system. Give it a symbol file and it will go through and verify that the symbol will work in gschem and friends.</div>
50 </li>
51 </ul>
