DESCRIPTION¶
asntool reads, validates, and displays ASN.1 module specifications.
OPTIONS¶
A summary of options is included below.
- -
- Print usage message
- -B filename
- Generate objects and code in files named filename.*
- -D N
- Debugging level for code generation:
- 0
- No debugging (default)
- 1
- Shallow debugging
- 2
- Deep debugging
- 3-9
- Same as 2
- -G
- Generate object loader .c and .h files
- -I str
- Put "#include str" in generated .c file
- -J type
- Register type type with object manager
- -K str
- In generated .c, force name of #included asn header to str
- -L str
- Label registered type as str
- -M filename,...
- Search the ASN.1 modules in filename,... for external
references
- -P str
- XML module prefix for DOCTYPE
- -Q
- Use quoted syntax form for generated include files
- -S filename
- Send debugging output to filename rather than stderr
- -T filename
- Dump ASN.1 tree to filename
- -V
- Force CHOICE objects to use custom structures rather than ValNodePtrs, for
compatibility with some old hand-coded object loaders.
- -X filename
- Write XML DTD to filename. If filename is "m",
print each module to a separate file.
- -Z
- Bit twiddle for optional zero value base slots
- -b N
- Use N-byte buffers (default = 1024; anything between 512 and 10000
is legal)
- -d filename
- Read binary values from filename (requires -t)
- -e filename
- Write binary values to filename
- -f filename
- Write ASN.1 module to filename
- -l filename
- Write ASN.1 loader to filename
- -m filename
- Read ASN.1 module from filename
- -o filename
- Write header to filename
- -p filename
- Write print values to filename
- -t str
- Expect binary values to have type str
- -v filename
- Read print values from filename
- -w N
- Limit values in #defines to N bits (default = 31; anything between
31 and 128 is legal)
- -x filename
- Write XML data to filename
