.Dd April 10, 2010 .Os .Dt IASL 8 .Sh NAME .Nm iasl .Nd Intel ASL compiler and disassembler .Tn Pq iASL .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Ar options .Ao Ar input file Ac .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm is a fully-featured compiler for the .Tn ACPI Source Language .Tn Pq ASL . It translates .Tn ASL to .Tn ACPI Machine Language .Tn Pq AML , but .Nm can also act as a disassembler, translating .Tn AML to .Tn ASL . .Sh OPTIONS .Ss Global l -tag -width "w 1 | 2 | 3 " -offset 4n -compact t Fl @ Ar file Specify command file. t Fl I Ar dir Specify additional include directory. .El .Ss General Output l -tag -width "w 1 | 2 | 3 " -offset 4n -compact t Fl p Ar prefix Specify a path or filename .Ar prefix for all output files. t Fl va Disable all errors and warnings in the summary. t Fl vi Use less verbose errors and warnings. t Fl vo Enable optimization comments. t Fl vr Disable remarks. t Fl vs Disable signon. t Fl w Ar 1 | 2 | 3 Set warning reporting level. .El .Ss AML Output Files l -tag -width "w 1 | 2 | 3 " -offset 4n -compact t Fl s Ar a | c Create .Tn AML in assembler
