gattrib(1)

📦 version 1.10.2, in nixos 26.05

✨ gattrib — the gEDA/gaf Schematic Attribute Editor ✨

Okay bestie, so you're about to meet gattrib, and honestly? It's giving spreadsheet but make it schematics 💅. This is the gattrib manual page from the gEDA Project, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🫶.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gattrib [OPTION ...] [FILE ...]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

gattrib is a spreadsheet-like tool for bulk editing of attributes in gEDA schematics — and those schematics are usually created in gschem(1), iykyk ✨.

Like, if you have a million attributes to change and you're not trying to sit there doing them one by one, this is your girl. Bulk edits, spreadsheet vibes, no cap 🔥.

And listen — if no FILEs to open are specified on the command line, gattrib will display a file selector dialog on startup. So it's not just gonna sit there being mysterious; it asks 🎀.

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -q, --quiet — Quiet mode, bestie. Turns off all the warnings, notes, and messages. Silence. Peace. Main character energy of not being bothered 😌.
  • -v, --verbose — Verbose mode. Outputs all the diagnostic information. Every last crumb of it 🙈.
  • -h, --help — Prints a help message. Iconic, helpful, does exactly what it says 💜.

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

  • GEDADATA — specifies the search directory for Scheme and rc files. The default is ${prefix}/share/gEDA.
  • GEDADATARC — specifies the search directory for rc files. The default is $GEDADATA.
  • GEDALOG — specifies the directory to which to write log files. The default is ~/.gEDA/logs.

(Yes, GEDALOG gets its own bullet AND its own line in the original, and we are respecting that. Periodt 💅.)
