An example of a Telesis netlist. It’s a format widely used (at least in Europe) to communicate between people doing the schematics, and those doing the actual layouts.

The first part, $PACKAGES, tells for each component name what it is, and what footprint it has. Then, in the $NETS part, each wire in the schematic is defined by all of the nodes to which it’s connected. It’s really basic, but handy.
