14 orbit-idl - IDL compiler for ORBit
15 !!SYNOPSIS
16
17
18 __orbit-idl__ [[ ''options'' ]
19 ''file...''
20 !!DESCRIPTION
21
22
23 __orbit-idl__ converts object interface descriptions
24 written in CORBA IDL (Interface Definition Language) into C
25 code that you can compile and link into your
26 programs.
27 !!OPTIONS
28
29
30 __orbit-idl__ accepts the following options:
31
32
33 __-d__ ''ARG''__
34 --debug=__''ARG''
35
36
37 Set the debug level. Supported levels are 0 to 4, default is
38 2.
39
40
41 __--skeleton-impl__
42
43
44 Generate a ''skeleton-impl'' file.
45
46
47 __--nostubs__
48
49
50 Do not create the ''stubs'' file.
51
52
53 __--noskels__
54
55
56 Do not create the ''skels'' file.
57
58
59 __--nocommon__
60
61
62 Do not create the ''common'' file.
63
64
65 __--noheaders__
66
67
68 Do not create the ''headers'' file.
69
70
71 __-D__ ''ARG''__
72 --define=__''ARG''
73
74
75 Define name for preprocessor.
76
77
78 __-I__ ''PATH''__
79 --include=__''PATH''
80
81
82 Add search path for include files.
83
84
85 __--c-output-formatter=__''PROGRAM''
86
87
88 Define the program to use for formatting the compiler
89 output; defaults to indent(1).
90
91
92 __-l__ ''ARG''__
93 --lang=__''ARG''
94
95
96 Specify the output language. The default is C. Support for
97 languages other than C requires the installation of a
98 backend for that language.
99
100
101 __--backenddir=__''DIR''
102
103
104 Specify the directory where a language backend is stored
105 (not necessary if backend is stored in the default
106 directory, /usr/lib/orbit-idl.)
107
108
109 __--usage__
110
111
112 Print a very brief usage summary.
113
114
115 __-?
116 --help__
117
118
119 Print a slightly more detailed usage summary.
120 !!COMPILING
121
122
123 The IDL file(s) compiled by __orbit-idl__ define the
124 interfaces to network-transparent objects. These files are
125 first passed to cpp(1), the C Preprocessor, then the result
126 is parsed, and the C code is generated.
127
128
129 By default, __orbit-idl__ generates four files, the
130 ''stubs'', ''skels'', ''common'', and ''header''
131 files. If your input file is named __sample.idl__, then
132 the output files will be named, respectively,
133 __sample-stubs.c__, __sample-skels.c__,
134 __sample-common.c__, and __sample.h__. You can
135 optionally also generate a ''skeleton-impl'' file (which
136 would be named __sample-skelimpl.c__ in our example).
137 This file requires manual editing to be useful, and is
138 therefore not generated by default.
139

141 The generated C files are formatting
