[-l filename] -m filename [-o filename] [-p filename] [-t str]
[-v filename] [-w N] [-x filename]
DESCRIPTION
asntool reads, validates, and displays ASN.1 module specifications.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
- Print usage message
-B filename
Generate objects and code in files named filename.*
-D N Debugging level for code generation:
0 No debugging (default)
1 Shallow debugging
2 Deep debugging
3-9 Same as 2
-G Generate object loader .c and .h files
-I str Put "#include str" in generated .c file
-J type
Register type type with object manager
-K str In generated .c, force name of #included asn header to str
-L str Label registered type as str
-M filename,...
Search the ASN.1 modules in filename,... for external references
-P str XML module prefix for DOCTYPE
-S filename
Send debugging output to filename rather than stderr
-T filename
Dump ASN.1 tree to filename
-V Force CHOICE objects to use custom structures rather than
ValNodePtrs, for compatibility with some old hand-coded object
loaders.
-X filename
Write XML DTD to filename. If filename is "m", print each
module to a separate file.
-Z Bit twiddle for optional zero value base slots
-b N Use N-byte buffers (default = 1024; anything between 512 and
10000 is legal)
-d filename
Read binary values from filename (requires -t)
-e filename
Write binary values to filename
-f filename
Write ASN.1 module to filename
-l filename
Write ASN.1 loader to filename
-m filename
Read ASN.1 module from filename
-o filename
Write header to filename
-p filename
Write print values to filename
-t str Expect binary values to have type str
-v filename
Read print values from filename
-w N Limit values in #defines to N bits (default = 31; anything
between 31 and 128 is legal)
-x filename
Write XML data to filename
