<h3 class="section">Netlist File Format</h3>
<p>Netlists read by <code>Pcb</code> must have this simple text form:
<pre class="example"> netname [style] NAME-PINNUM NAME2-PINNUM2 NAME3-PINNUM3 ... [\]
</pre>
<br>for each net on the layout.<br>
where "netname" is the name of the net which must be unique for each
net, [style] is an optional route-style name,
NAME is the layout-name name given to an element,
and PINNUM is the (usually numeric)
pin number of the element that connects to the net
(for details on pin numbering see <a href="Element-Objects.html#Element%20Objects">Element Objects</a>).
Spaces or tabs separate the fields.
If the line ends with a "\" the
net continues on the next line and the "\" is treated exactly as if it
were a space. If a NAME ends with a lower-case letter,
all lower-case letters are stripped from the end of the NAME to determine the
matching layout-name name. For example:
<pre class="example"> Data U1-3 U2abc-4 FLOP1a-7 Uabc3-A9
</pre>
<p>specifies that the net called "Data" should have
pin 3 of U1 connected to pin 4 of U2, to pin 7 of
FLOP1 and to pin A9 of Uabc3. Note that element name and
pin number strings are case-sensitive.
It is up to you to name the elements so that their layout-name names
agrees with the netlist.
