yaz-comp 1 yaz-comp YAZ ASN.1 compiler yaz-comp -v -c cfile -h hfile -p pfile -d config -I includeout -i includedir -m module asn-file yaz-comp is an ASN.1 compiler that reads an ASN.1 specification and produces C/C++ definitions and encoders/decoders for it. -v Makes the ASN.1 compiler print more verbose about the various stages of operations. -c cfile Specifies the name of the C/C++ file with encoders/decoders. -c cfile Specifies the name of the C/C++ file with encoders/decoders. -c cfile Specifies the name of the C/C++ file with encoders/decoders. -h hfile Specifies the name of header file with definitions. -p pfile Specifies the name of the a private header file with definitions. By default all definitions are put in header file (option -h). -d dfile Specifies the name of a definitions file. -I iout Specifies first part of directory in which header files are written. -i idir Specifies second part of directory in which header files are written. -m module Specifies that ASN.1 compiler should only process the module given. If this option is not specified, all modules in the ASN.1 file are processed. The definitions file is really a Tcl script but follows traditional rules for Shell like configuration files. That is # denotes the beginning of a comment. Definitions are line oriented. The definitions files usually consists of a series of variable assignments of the form: set name value Available variables are: default-prefix Sets prefix for names in the produced output. The value consists of three tokens: C function prefix, C typedef prefix and preprocessor prefix respectively. prefix(module) This value sets prefix values for module module. The value has same form as default-prefix. filename(module) Specifies filename for C/header file for module module. init(module,h) Code fragment to be put in first part of public header for module module. body(module,h) Code fragment to be put in last part of public header for module module (trailer). init(module,c) Code fragment to be put in first part of C encoder/decoder for module module. body(module,c) Code fragment to be put in last part of C encoder/decoder for module module (trailer). map(module,name) Maps ASN.1 type in module module of name to value. membermap(module,name,member) Maps member member in SEQUENCE of name in module module to value. unionmap(module,name,member) Maps member member in CHOICE of name in module module to value. Value consists of three tokens. /usr/share/yaz/z39.50/z.tcl /usr/share/yaz/z39.50/*.asn yaz 7 Section "Generic server" in the YAZ manual.
