What is gnetlist?
</H4>
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.
<p>
gnetlist supports writing the following netlist formats:
<UL>
<li>Allegro netlist format (-g allegro)</li>
<li>BAE netlist format (-g bae)</li>
<li>BOM / BOM2 - Bill of Materials (-g bom and -g bom2)</li>
<li>Partslist 1,2,3 - More Bill of Materials (-g partslist[1-3])</li>
<li>DRC - Start of a design rule checker (-g drc)</li>
<li>DRC2 - A second design rule checker (-g drc2)</li>
<li>gEDA - native format, mainly used for testing (-g geda)</li>
<li>Gossip netlist format (-g gossip)</li>
<li>PADS netlist format (-g pads)</li>
<li>PCB / PCBboard (-g PCB and -g PCBboard)</li>
<li>gsch2pcb backend (-g gsch2pcb)</li>
<li>ProtelII netlist format (-g protelII)</li>
<li>Spice compatible netlist format (-g spice)</li>
<li>Enhanced spice compatible netlist format (-g spice-sdb)</li>
<li>Switcap netlist format (-g switcap)</li>
<li>Tango netlist format (-g tango)</li>
<li>Verilog code (-g verilog)</li>
<li>VHDL code (-g vhdl)</li>
<li>VIPEC netlist format (-g vipec)</li>
<li>Bartels Autoengineer netlist format (-g bae)</li>
<li>GOSSIP system simulation system netlist format (-g gossip)</li>
<li>MAXASCII netlist format (-g maxascii)</li>
<li>VHDL-AMS netlist format (-g vams)</li>
<li>Futurenet2 netlist format (-g futurenet2 )</li>
<li>SWITCAP switched capacitor simulator netlist format (-g switcap )</li>
<li>RF Cascade netlist format (-g cascade )</li>
<li>RACAL-REDAC netlist format (-g redac )</li>
<li>PCB actions file for forward annotating pin/pad names from schematic to layout (-g pcbpins)</li>
</UL>
<p>
gnetlist supports the hierarchical traversal and various net merging/renaming
methods. The greatest feature lacking from gnetlist is hierarchical bus support.

</H4>
Gnetlist is a community effort with several dozen contributors participating in the gEDA Project.
