orbit-idl-2
NAME
orbit-idl-2 - IDL compiler for ORBit2
SYNOPSIS
orbit-idl-2
[ options ] file...
DESCRIPTION
orbit-idl-2
converts object interface descriptions written in CORBA IDL (Interface
Definition Language) into C code that you can compile and link into
your programs.
OPTIONS
orbit-idl-2
accepts the following options:
I -d ARG
I --debug= ARG
Set the debug level. Supported levels are 0 to 4, default is 2.
I --idlwarnlevel= INT
Set the warning level for compiler warnings. Supported levels are 0
to 4, default is 2.
--showcpperrors
Show errors from cpp(1).
--small
Optimize for size instead of speed.
--oldstyle
Use the old style IDL compiler (not generally recommended).
--skeleton-impl
Generate a skeleton-impl file.
--nostubs
Do not create the stubs file.
--noskels
Do not create the skels file.
--nocommon
Do not create the common file.
--noheaders
Do not create the headers file.
--noidata
Don't generate Interface type data.
-i
--imodule
Generate only an imodule file (no skels, stubs, etc.).
--add-imodule
Generate an imodule file (as well as other files generated by default
or by other options).
--onlytop
Inhibit file includes.
--pidl
Treat source as pseudo-IDL.
I -D ARG
I --define= ARG
Define name for preprocessor.
I -I PATH
I --include= PATH
Add search path for include files.
I --deps= FILENAME
Generate dependency information, suitable for inclusion in a Makefile.
I -l ARG
I --lang= ARG
Specify the output language. The default is C. Support for languages
other than C requires the installation of a backend for that language.
I --backenddir= DIR
Specify the directory where a language backend is stored (not
necessary if backend is stored in the default directory).
--usage
Print a very brief usage summary.
-?
--help
Print a slightly more detailed usage summary.
-v
--version
Print version number and serial.
COMPILING
The IDL file(s) compiled by orbit-idl-2 define the interfaces
to network-transparent objects. These files are first passed to
cpp(1), the C Preprocessor, then the result is parsed, and the C code
is generated.
By default, orbit-idl-2 generates four files, the stubs,
skels, common, and header files. If your input file
is named sample.idl, then the output files will be named,
respectively, sample-stubs.c, sample-skels.c,
sample-common.c, and sample.h. You can optionally also
generate a skeleton-impl file (which would be named
sample-skelimpl.c in our example), or an imodule file
(e.g. sample-imodule.c). These files require manual
editing to be useful, and is therefore not generated by default.
The generated C files are formatting ("pretty-printed") using
indent(1). You can use another program for this if you prefer, with
the --c-output-formatter argument.
