IASL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual IASL(8)
NAME
iasl -- Intel ASL compiler and disassembler (iASL)
SYNOPSIS
iasl [options] <input file>
DESCRIPTION
The iasl is a fully-featured compiler for the ACPI Source Language (ASL). It translates ASL to ACPI Machine Language (AML), but iasl can
also act as a disassembler, translating AML to ASL.
OPTIONS
Global
-@ file Specify command file.
-I dir Specify additional include directory.
General Output
-p prefix Specify a path or filename prefix for all output files.
-va Disable all errors and warnings in the summary.
-vi Use less verbose errors and warnings.
-vo Enable optimization comments.
-vr Disable remarks.
-vs Disable signon.
-w 1 | 2 | 3 Set warning reporting level.
AML Output Files
-s a | c Create AML in assembler (*.asm) or C (*.c) source file.
-i a | c Create assembler (*.inc) or C (*.h) include file.
-t a | c Create AML in assembler or C hex table (*.hex).
AML Code Generation
-oa Disable all optimizations (compatibility mode).
-of Disable constant folding.
-oi Disable integer optimization to operation codes.
-on Disable named reference string optimization.
-r revision Override table header revision (1-255).
Listings
-l Create mixed, ASL and AML, listing file (*.lst).
-ln Create namespace file (*.nsp).
-ls Create combined source file (*.src).
AML Disassembler
-d file Disassemble binary ACPI table to a file (*.dsl).
-dc file Disassemble AML and immediately compile it.
-e f1, f2 Include ACPI table(s) for external symbol resolution.
-2 Emit ACPI 2.0 compatible ASL code.
-g Get ACPI tables and write to files (*.dat).
Help
-h Display additional help and compiler debug options.
-hc Display operators allowed in constant expressions.
-hr Display ACPI reserved method names.
