FpcPlace Description

FpcPlace was developed to be a console application that generates a component placement listing from the information contained in a FreePCB board file. An optional .ini file can be used to handle unusual components, override many default setting, add component values and select from a variety of fixed or user defined output listing formats. RS-274X files can be generated from the placement data to verify data extraction. FpcPlace can function as a console filter or use explicitly specified files for data input, configuration and output. As a console filter, FpcPlace uses the standard console devices stdin and stdout for data I/O and can use the normal file redirection functions < and > to load the desired board file and control where the output listing goes. In both cases, the console log, sent to stderr, can be redirected to a file by using the 2> stderr redirector. Additional control can be achieved by using an exceptions list file to handle asymmetric or virtual parts, change default values and control or define the output format.
