.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This program generates a short BOM as explained in the
document
.IR "Bill of Materials (BOM) handling in uEDA" .
.PP
The default output is intended for a display or printer with fixed
character spacing; ASCII space characters are inserted between columns.
The number of spaces inserted is determined by the width of the widest
entry in each column plus the column separation.
The latter defaults to 2 spaces but can be changed with the
.B \-s
option.
.PP
The
.B \-t
option selects an alternative output format in which the columns are
separated by a single ASCII tab character.
This format is ideal for feeding to
.IR tbl (1)
and ultimately to
.IR troff (1).
The column headings are also suppressed in this output format on the
assumption that they can be made prettier in the post-processing.
.PP
The
.B \-p
option specifies the population option for which the BOM should be produced.
.I Popopt
is either a comma-separated list of population group numbers to be included
or the keyword
.BR all .
The latter requests that all components be included, even those which have a
.B
population_option=NO
attribute specified.
The default is equivalent to
.BR \-p0 .
.PP
The
.B \-a
option requests the generation of an assembly BOM.
The assembly BOM differs from the corresponding ``regular'' short BOM in that if
a component is to be socketed, the part information emitted is for the socket
rather than the component to be pushed into it.
