.SH NAME
ueda-runm4 \- run m4 with the PCB footprint library loaded
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ueda-runm4
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.I Ueda-runm4
is a simple
.IR sh (1)
script that invokes
.IR m4 (1)
with all macros of the IFCTF PCB footprint library loaded and available
for use.
Input may be given on stdin which uses these macros and output will be
produced on stdout with all macros correctly expanded.
.PP
.I Ueda-runm4
is normally run as a post-processor for
.IR ueda-getfps (1).

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
/usr/local/eda/ifctf-part-lib/m4-fp: bad directory
.in +8
The required IFCTF part library is not installed correctly.
.in -8
/usr/local/eda/file-element-dirs: No such file or directory
.in +8
If a requested footprint is not found in the M4 library, the M4 code
automatically invokes
.IR ueda-instfileelem (1)
to look for it in the file element directories.
If the latter are not installed, you see this rather cryptic error message.
.in -8
No footprint named \fIxxx\fP
.in +8
The requested footprint could not be found, neither in M4 nor in the file
element libraries.
.in -8
.SH BUGS
The M4 code in the IFCTF part library uses some features only present
in the 4.3BSD-Quasijarus version of
.IR m4 (1).
