| Backends may have other uses, however. For example, the "bom2" backend is used for generating a list of components used (a "Bill of Materials"), and the "drc2" backend carries out "design rule checking" (i.e. checking a design for commonly-made errors and potential problems). | Backends may have other uses, however.

| + | An alternative to running a backend is to use //interactive mode//. When the ''-i'' option is used, gnetlist creates the intermediate form from the schematic files, and then enters a Scheme REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop). This allows you to run Scheme commands and inspect the output, which can be useful for troubleshooting and to enable some advanced netlist processing techniques. | ||
