NAME

       asistant - interactive command-line ASIS tool

SYNOPSIS

       asistant program

DESCRIPTION

       ASIS  is the Ada Semantic Interface Specification; it is an application programming interface that allows
       Ada programs to inspect the structure of other Ada programs.  GNAT, the GNU Ada compiler, can  parse  Ada
       source text and produce tree files suitable for use through ASIS.

       asistant  is  an  interactive  command-line  tool  with  a simple language that allows you to inspect the
       semantic information  about  a  compiled  program.   Thus  you  can  learn  ASIS  and  try  ASIS  queries
       interactively before writing them in your programs.

       ASIS-for-GNAT  was  originally  developed   by  the  ASIS-for-GNAT  team  at  the  Software   Engineering
       Laboratory  of  the Swiss  Federal  Institute  of Technology (LGL-EPFL)  in  Lausanne,   Switzerland,  in
       cooperation  with  the  Scientific   Research   Computer   Center of  Moscow State University (SRCC MSU),
       Russia,  with funding partially provided  by grants from the Swiss  National   Science   Foundation   and
       the   Swiss   Academy   of   Engineering  Sciences.      ASIS-for-GNAT     is     now    maintained    by
       AdaCore (http://www.adacore.com).
