13 yaz-asncomp is an ASN.1 compiler that reads an ASN.1 specification in
14 filename and produces C/C++ definitions and BER encoders/decoders for
15 it.
16 The produced C/C++ code and header files uses the ODR module of YAZ
18 which is a library that encodes/decodes/prints BER packages.
19 yaz-asncomp allows you to specify name of resulting source via options.
20 Alternatively, you can specify a DEFINISIONS file, which provides
21 customized output to many output files - if the ASN.1 specification
22 file consists of many modules.
23 This utility is written in Tcl. Any version of Tcl should work.
25
27 -v
28 Makes the ASN.1 compiler print more verbose about the various stages
29 of operations.
30 -c cfile
32 Specifies the name of the C/C++ file with encoders/decoders.
33 -h hfile
35 Specifies the name of header file with definitions.
36 -p pfile
38 Specifies the name of the a private header file with definitions. By
39 default all definitions are put in header file (option -h).
40 -d dfile
42 Specifies the name of a definitions file.
43 -I iout
45 Specifies first part of directory in which header files are written.
46 -i idir
48 Specifies second part of directory in which header files are
49 written.
50 -m module
52 Specifies that ASN.1 compiler should only process the module given.
53 If this option is not specified, all modules in the ASN.1 file are
54 processed.
55
57 The definitions file is really a Tcl script but follows traditional
58 rules for Shell like configuration files. That is # denotes the
59 beginning of a comment. Definitions are line oriented. The definitions
60 files usually consists of a series of variable assignments of the form:
61 set name value
63 Available variables are:
65 default-prefix
67 Sets prefix for names in the produced output. The value consists of
68 three tokens: C function prefix, C typedef prefix and preprocessor
69 prefix respectively.
70 prefix(module)
72 This value sets prefix values for module module. The value has same
73 form as default-prefix.
74 filename(module)
76 Specifies filename for C/header file for module module.
77 init(module,h)
79 Code fragment to be put in first part of public header for module
80 module.
81 body(module,h)
83 Code fragment to be put in last part of public header for module
84 module (trailer).
85 init(module,c)
87 Code fragment to be put in first part of C based encoder/decoder for
88 module module.
89 body(module,c)
91 Code fragment to be put in last part of C based encoder/decoder for
92 module module (trailer).
93 map(module,name)
95 Maps ASN.1 type in module module of name to value.
96 membermap(module,name,member)
98 Maps member member in SEQUENCE/CHOICE of name in module module to
99 value. The value consists of one or two tokens. First token is name
100 of C preprocessor part. Second token is resulting C member name. If
101 second token is omitted the value (one token) is both preprocessor
102 part and C struct,union.
103 unionmap(module,name,member)
105 Maps member member in CHOICE of name in module module to value.
106 Value consists of to or three tokens. The first token is name of the
107 integer in the union that is used as selector for the union itself.
108 The second token is name of the union. The third token overrides the
109 name of the CHOICE member; if omitted the member name is used.
