NAME

6       pbc_disassemble - parrot bytecode disassembler
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pbc_disassemble [-bh?] [--bare|--header-only] [-o outfile] [file.pbc]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       "pbc_disassemble" translates Parrot bytecode ("PBC") into Parrot
13       assembly language ("PASM").
14
15       "file.pbc" is the bytecode file to disassemble. If a file is not
16       specified, the bytecode will be read from "stdin". Additionally, if the
17       "-o" switch is not given, the output is displayed to "stdout".
18

OPTIONS

20       -?, --help
21           Displays usage and help information.
22
23       -b, --bare
24           Displays bare PASM without the header and left column.
25
26       -h, --header-only
27           Displays only the constants table header.
28
29       -o filename, --output filename
30           Writes output to "filename".

STATIC FUNCTIONS

33       "int main(int argc, const char *argv[])"
34           Execution entry point. Starts up an interpreter, loads the bytecode
35           from the command-line, and disassembles it.
36
37       "static void help(void)"
38           Prints out the user help information and exits.
39

52
53       Reini Urban: Renamed from disassemble to pbc_disassemble (2008-07-03).
