asntool reads, validates, and displays ASN.1 module specifications.
A summary of options is included below.
- -
- Print usage message
-
-B filename
- Generate objects and code in files named
filename.*
-
-D N
- Debugging level for code generation:
- 0
- No debugging (default)
- 1
- Shallow debugging
- 2
- Deep debugging
- 3-9
- Same as 2
-
-F N
- Fix non-printing characters:
- 0
- Replace with #, post ERROR (default)
- 1
- Replace with # silently
- 2
- Pass through silently
- 3
- Replace with #, post FATAL
- -G
- Generate object loader .c and .h files
-
-I str
- Put "#include str" in generated .c
file
-
-J type
- Register type type with object manager
-
-K str
- In generated .c, force name of #included asn header to
str
-
-L str
- Label registered type as str
-
-M filename,...
- Search the ASN.1 modules in filename,... for
external references
-
-N N
- UTF8 input conversion:
- 0
- Convert silently (default)
- 1
- Convert, post WARNING first time
- 2
- Convert, post WARNING each time
- 3
- Do not convert
-
-P str
- XML module prefix for DOCTYPE
- -Q
- Use quoted syntax form for generated include files
-

stderr

- UTF8 output conversion:
- 0
- Convert silently (default)
- 1
- Convert, post WARNING first time
- 2
- Convert, post WARNING each time
- 3
- Do not convert
- -V
- Force CHOICE objects to use custom structures rather than
ValNodePtrs, for compatibility with some old hand-coded object
loaders.
-
-X filename
- Write XML DTD to filename. If filename is
"m", print each module to a separate file.
- -Z

512 and 10000 is legal)
-
-d filename
- Read binary values from filename (requires
-t)
-
-e filename
- Write binary values to filename
-
-f filename
- Write ASN.1 module to filename
-
-l filename
- Write ASN.1 loader to filename
-
-m filename
- Read ASN.1 module from filename
-
-o filename
- Write header to filename
-
-p filename
- Write print values to filename
-
-t str
- Expect binary values to have type str
-
-v filename
- Read print values from filename
-
-w N
- Limit values in #defines to N bits (default = 31;
anything between 31 and 128 is legal)
-
-x filename
- Write XML data to filename
