NAME

6       iasl - ACPI Source Language compiler/decompiler
7

SYNOPSIS

9       iasl [<option>...] <input-file> ...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This manual page briefly documents the iasl command. The option list is
13       taken from the iasl interactive help.
14
15       iasl is an ASL compiler and decompiler.  This command provides both the
16       ability  to translate one or more ASL source files to their correspond‐
17       ing AML binary files, and the ability to  translate  AML  binary  files
18       back to readable ASL source.
