gEDA-user: External attribute read/write - how?

[Frank Miles <fpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While a geda-newbie, over the years I've developed a set of programs which
use a (Postgresql-based) database to update and error check schematics originating
in a DOS-based OrCAD.  I would like to have similar capabilities in gschem/pcb.
A key requirement is to be able to read and write component information (attributes)
by external programs.

** Where/how can an external program read and/or write component attributes?? **

I've done a moderate search in the geda documentation to find suitable hooks/API/
other mechanism which would allow this.  <gattrib> doesn't do it - it provides
a nice mechanism for hand-entry, but doesn't (in my quick check) seem to provide 
any mechanism for program control.

If anyone can provide pointers to the documents that I have sloppily overlooked,
I'd appreciate it.  Thanks!

 	Frank Miles
