SYNOPSIS

       iac opts file [-cppargs args]

DESCRIPTION

       iac  is  an  IDL-to-Ada  compiler, compliant with version 1.2 of the "Ada Language Mapping

       -p      Produce source on standard output.

       -o DIR  Specify output directory.

       -dm     Generate debug messages when analyzing scopes

       -df     Dump the frontend tree (the IDL tree)

       -cppargs ARGS
               Pass ARGS to the C++ preprocessor.

       -I dir  Shortcut for -cppargs -I dir.

       -nocpp  Do not preprocess input

       -<lang> Generate code for a supported language

       types   Generate a list of all types present in the IDL file

        -p     Print the list generate

       ada     Generate Ada source code

        -i     Generate implementation template.

        -c     Generate client side code.

        -s     Generate server side code.

        -noir  Don't generate code for interface repository (default).

        -hc    Using perfect minimal hash tables in skeletons and minimize CPU time

        -hm    Using perfect minimal hash tables in skeletons and minimize memory space

        -rs    Use the SII/SSI to handle requests

        -rd    Use the DII/DSI to handle requests (default)

        -da    Dump the Ada tree

        -dw    Output the withed entities

        -dt    Output tree warnings

        -di    Generate code for imported entities

       idl     Dump parsed IDL file

        -b n   Base to output integer literal As a default (zero) use base from input

        -e     Expand IDL Tree

        -df    Dump IDL Tree (may be used in conjunction with -e to dump the expanded IDL tree)

        -di    Output IDL code of imported entities (may be used in conjunction with -e to output
               the expanded IDL code)

EXIT STATUS
