This documents the s-expression symbol library file format for all versions of KiCad from 6.0.
Symbol library files use the .kicad_sym
extension.
Symbol library files can only define one or more footprints.
A symbol library file includes the following sections:
The kicad_symbol_lib
token indicates that it is KiCad symbol library file. This section is
required.
Third party scripts should not use kicad_symbol_editor as the generator identifier.
Please use some other identifier so that bugs introduced by third party generators are
not confused with a footprint library file created by KiCad.
