## NAME

lepton-symcheck - Lepton EDA Symbol Checker

## SYNOPSIS

lepton-symcheck [OPTION ...] FILE ...

## DESCRIPTION

lepton-symcheck is a symbol checker for Lepton EDA. It checks one or more symbol FILEs passed on the command line.

Here is a list of checks that lepton-symcheck performs:

| • |  | Checks for graphical attribute (if present does varied tests)
| • |  | Checks for the device attribute
| • |  | Checks for various other missing attributes (pinlabel, pintype, pinseq, footprint, refdes)
| • |  | Checks to make sure that the active pin end is on the 100 unit grid.
| • |  | Checks the uses of the various attributes (duplicates, incorrect syntax, invalid values, etc...)
| • |  | Checks for obsolete, old, and forbidden attributes
| • |  | Checks for any nets or buses within a symbol
| • |  | Checks for any other connections within a symbol
| • |  | Checks to make sure the number of pins is the correct number

## OPTIONS

lepton-symcheck accepts the following options:
-q, --quiet

Quiet mode on. This mode turns off all warnings/notes/messages.

-v, --verbose

Verbose mode 1. This mode will show all error messages.

| -vv |  | Verbose mode 2. This mode will show all error and warning messages.
| -vvv |  | Verbose mode 3. This mode will show all error, warning, and info messages.

-V, --version

Print version information.

-h, --help

Print a help message.

## EXAMPLES

Here are some examples on how to run lepton-symcheck:

To get usage information run:

lepton-symcheck --help

To actually check a symbol with just error counts, run:

lepton-symcheck symbolfilename.sym

To get the actuall error messages, run:

lepton-symcheck -v symbolfilename.sym

To see all the error messages and warnings, run:

lepton-symcheck -vv symbolfilename.sym

To see all the error messages, warnings, and parse info, run:

lepton-symcheck -vvv symbolfilename.sym
