NAME

       cgfxcat - dump a Cg effect or program file to standard out

SYNOPSIS

       cgfxcat.exe [-gl] [-effect] [-program] [-object] [-profile profile] [-entry entry] file

DESCRIPTION

       cgfxcat loads an effect or program file and calls every query operation available in the
       core runtime on the resulting Cg object.  The values returned by the queries are written
       to standard out.

       The source code for cgfxcat is found under examples/Tools/cgfxcat.

OPTIONS

       file
           The effect or program file to be processed.  cgfxcat can handle effect files, program
           files, or precompiled program files.

           Files with a .cgfx or .fx extension will be loaded using cgCreateEffectFromFile.
           Files with a .cg or .hlsl extension will be loaded using cgCreateProgramFromFile.  Any
           other extension is passed to cgGetProfile and if a valid CGprofile is found the file
           is loaded using cgCreateProgramFromFile with the program_type set to CG_OBJECT.  You
           can override these built-in file extension mappings with the -effect, -program, or
           <-object> options.

       -effect
           Treat file as an effect file, ignoring its extension.

       -program
           Treat file as a program file, ignoring its extension.

       -object
           Treat file as an precompiled program file, ignoring its extension.

       -profile profile
           Use the CGprofile returned by cgGetProfile for profile as the profile argument of
           cgCreateProgramFromFile when compiling file.

       -entry entry
           Use entry as the entry argument of cgCreateProgramFromFile when compiling file.

       -gl Register states with cgGLRegisterStates rather than using the generic state code built
           into cgfxcat.
