### Summary:

> The netlist command works with the "netlist tool" and is the interface between the layout window and the netlist window as generated by the "specialopen netlist" command. The command options, outlined above, allow interactive creation of netlists from a layout. Note that this is only interface code; most manipulation of the netlist is handled by the netlist window commands (see the section in the table of contents on the netlist window command set).

### Implementation Notes:

> netlist is implemented as a built-in command in magic. Prior to magic-7.3 revision 61, these functions were only available as built-in button callbacks. They have been changed to command-line commands with the switch to handling buttons like keys, with macro bindings.
