NAME

       adactl - Ada rules controller

SYNOPSIS

       adactl [options] unit[+|-unit]|[@]file ...  [-- ASIS_options]

       adactl -h [rule id... | all | commands | license | list | options | rules | version]

DESCRIPTION

       AdaControl  is  an Ada rules controller. It is used to control that Ada software meets the
       requirements of a number of parameterizable rules. It is not intended to supplement checks
       made  by  the  compiler,  but  rather to search for particular violations of good-practice
       rules, or to check that some rules are obeyed project-wide.

       Commercial     support      is      available      for      AdaControl,      see      file
       /usr/share/doc/adacontrol/support.txt.  If  you  plan  to  use  AdaControl  for industrial
       projects, or if you want it to be customized or extended to match your own  needs,  please
       contact Adalog at info@adalog.fr.
