NAME

       patsopt - ATS2 to C compiler

SYNOPSIS

       patsopt [<options>] [-o <file>] <specifications>...

DESCRIPTION

       patsopt  is  the  compiler from ATS2 to C.  It is most commonly invoked by patscc which is
       the preferred frontend for compiling ATS2 code. If no output filename  is  specified  then
       the  default  is standard output. The output option -o <file> must be specified before any
       other specifications are given.

       --taggen
              Generate tagging information on syntactic entities.

       -tc, --typecheck
              Typecheck the given ATS source files, but go no further.

       -v, --version
              Show ATS2/Postiats version and gcc version.
