NAME
iasl
—
ACPI Source Language compiler, ACPI
table compiler, and AML disassembler
SYNOPSIS
iasl |
[option ...] [file ...] |
DESCRIPTION
The following options are supported:-@
file- Specify command file.
-ar
- Enable reference typechecking.
-bc
- Create converter debug file (*.cdb).
-bf
- Create debug file (full tree only) (*.txt).
-bp
depth- Prune ASL parse tree.
-bs
- Create debug file (parse tree only) (*.txt).
-bt
type- Object type to be pruned from the parse tree.
-ca
- Convert legacy-ASL source file to new ASL+ file (Original comments are passed through to ASL+ file).
-cr
- Disable Resource Descriptor error checking.
-d
file1 [file2]- Disassemble or decode binary ACPI tables to file (*.dsl). The file2 is optional, file type is automatically detected.
-D
symbol- Define symbol for preprocessor use.
-da
file ...- Disassemble multiple tables from single namespace.
-db
- Do not translate Buffers to Resource Templates.
-dc
file ...- Disassemble AML and immediately compile it. Obtain the DSDT from the current system if no input file has it.
-df
- Force the disassembler to assume the table contains valid AML.
-dl
- Emit legacy ASL code only (no C-style operators).
-dv
- Set verbose option.
-e
file ...- Include ACPI table(s) for external symbol resolution.
-f
- Ignore errors, force creation of AML output file(s).
-fe
file- Specify external symbol declaration file.
-G
- Compile custom table that contains generic operators.
-h
- Display the help message.
-hc
- Display operators allowed in constant expressions.
-hd
- Info for obtaining and disassembling binary ACPI tables.
-hf
- Display help for output filename generation.
-hr
- Display ACPI reserved method names.
-ht
- Display currently supported ACPI table names.
-I
directory- Specify additional include directory.
-ia
- Create include file in assembler (*.inc).
-ic
- Create include file in C (*.h).
-in
- When disassembling, ignore NoOp opcodes. When compiling, ignore NoOp operators.
-l
- When compiling, create mixed listing file (ASL source and AML) (*.lst). When disassembling, disassemble to mixed ASL and AML code.
-li
- Create preprocessed output file (*.i).
-lm
- Create hardware summary map file (*.map).
-ln
- Create namespace file (*.nsp).
-ls
- Create combined source file (expanded includes) (*.src).
-lx
- Create cross-reference file (*.xrf).
-m
size- Set internal line buffer size (in Kbytes).
-n
- Parse only, no output generation.
-oa
- Disable all optimizations (compatibility mode).
-oc
- Display compile times and statistics.
-od
- Disable disassembler code optimizations.
-of
- Disable constant folding.
-oi
- Disable integer optimization to Zero/One/Ones.
-on
- Disable named reference string optimization.
-ot
- Disable typechecking.
-P
- Preprocess only and create preprocessor output file (*.i).
-p
prefix- Specify path/filename prefix for all output files.
-Pn
- Disable preprocessor.
-r
revision- Override table header Revision (1-255).
-sa
- Create source file in assembler (*.asm).
-sc
- Create source file in C (*.c).
-so
- Create offset table in C (*.offset.h).
-T
sig ... | ALL- Create ACPI table template/example files.
-T
count- Emit DSDT and count SSDTs to same file.
-ta
- Create hex AML table in assembler (*.hex).
-tc
- Create hex AML table in C (*.hex).
-ts
- Create hex AML table in ASL (*.hex).
-v
- Display compiler version.
-va
- Disable all errors/warnings/remarks.
-vd
- Display compiler build date and time.
-ve
- Report only errors (ignore warnings and remarks).
-vi
- Less verbose errors and warnings for use with IDEs.
-vo
- Enable optimization comments.
-vr
- Disable remarks.
-vs
- Disable signon.
-vt
- Create verbose template files (full disassembly).
-vt
- Dump binary table data in hex format within output file.
-vw
message_id- Ignore specific error, warning or remark.
-vx
message_id- Expect a specific warning, remark, or error.
-w
1 | 2 | 3- Set warning reporting level.
-we
- Report warnings as errors.
-ww
messageid- Report a specific warning or remark as error.
-x
level- Set debug level for trace output.
-z
- Do not insert new compiler ID for DataTables.
