NAME

       iasl - ACPI Source Language compiler/decompiler

SYNOPSIS

       iasl [<option>...] <input-file> ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page briefly documents the iasl command. The option list is taken from the iasl interactive
       help.

       iasl is an ASL compiler and decompiler.  This command provides both the ability to translate one or  more
       ASL  source  files to their corresponding AML binary files, and the ability to translate AML binary files
       back to readable ASL source.

       Much more detailed documentation may be found at http://www.acpica.org/documentation/.
