NAME

       thrift  - code generator/compiler for Thrift IDL

SYNOPSIS

       thrift [options] source_file

DESCRIPTION

       Thrift  is  a framework for efficient serialization and RPC services.  The thrift compiler
       accepts a source file containing definitions of Thrift structs and services, and generates
       the language-specific code to implement them.

OPTIONS

       -version
           print the compiler version and exit

       -o DIRECTORY
           Set the output directory for gen-* packages (default: current directory)

       -out DIRECTORY
           Set the ouput location for generated files. (no gen-* folder will be created)

       -I DIRECTORY
           Add a directory to the list of directories searched for include directives

       -nowarn
           Suppress all compiler warnings (BAD!)

       -strict
           Strict compiler warnings on

       -v[erbose]
           Verbose mode

       -r[ecurse]
           Also generate included files

       -debug
           Parse debug trace to stdout

       --gen STRING
           Generate   code   with   a  dynamically-registered  generator.  STRING  has  the  form
           language[:key1=val1[,key2,[key3=val3]]].  Keys and values are options  passed  to  the
           generator.   Many  options  will not require values.  For a complete list of supported
           generators, run thrift without arguments.
