Overview

asntool reads, validates, and displays ASN.1 module specifications.

Options

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

-S filename: Send debugging output to filename rather than stderr

-T filename: Dump ASN.1 tree to filename

-U N

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: Bit twiddle for optional zero value base slots

-b N: Use N-byte buffers (default = 1024; anything between 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
