NAME
asistant - interactive command-line ASIS tool
SYNOPSIS
asistant program
DESCRIPTION
ASIS is the Ada Semantic Interface Specification; it is an application
programming interface that allows Ada programs to inspect the structure
of other Ada programs. GNAT, the GNU Ada compiler, can parse Ada
source text and produce tree files suitable for use through ASIS.
asistant is an interactive command-line tool with a simple language
that allows you to inspect the semantic information about a compiled
program. Thus you can learn ASIS and try ASIS queries interactively
before writing them in your programs.
