Object access and manipulation library

Xorn is a library to read and write gEDA files, allowing python scripts and GUI's to work on the same objects. Xorn is designed to work with Xi but can be integrated with any application that works on schematics.

There is also a command-line utility with two sub-commands:

  • xorn extract – extract embedded symbols or pixmaps from a schematic
  • xorn find-symbol-by-pinout – pretty much self-explaining
