✨ NAME ✨

QucsConverter — the command line tool for data conversion. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💫

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qucsconv [OPTION]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, QucsConverter is a command line tool that takes netlists, data files and schematics from other software and converts them into the data formats that Qucs and its simulation backend actually use. basically a translator for your files, no cap 🧚

the software aims to support a whole bunch of data formats — and currently, as input data formats, it supports:

  • Qucs datasets
  • SPICE netlists
  • CITIfiles
  • Touchstone
  • ZVR
  • VCD
  • IC-CAP model files

and as output data formats it supports:

  • CSV files
  • Qucs netlists
  • libraries
  • datasets

it's giving range, honestly 🔥

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -h, --help — displays this help and exits. your little built-in cheat sheet 🎀
  • -v, --version — displays version information and exits. say hi to the version number 👑
  • -i FILENAME — uses the file as the input file. default is stdin, so if you don't say anything it just reads from stdin, lowkey 📥
  • -o FILENAME — uses the file as the output file. default is stdout, so no filename = your terminal gets the tea ☕
  • -if FORMAT — input data specification. examples: touchstone, citi, qucsdata, spice, zvr, vcd, csv or mdl ✨
  • -of FORMAT — output data specification. examples: matlab, touchstone, csv, qucs, qucsdata or qucslib 💫
  • -a, --noaction — do not include netlist actions in the output. skip the action, bestie 🙈
  • -g GNDNODE — replace the ground node. yes, you get to pick its replacement 🌍
  • -d DATANAME — data variable specification. tells it which data variable we're talking about 🍓
  • -c, --correct — enables node correction. fixing nodes, slay 🔧
