The iasl compiler/disassembler is part of the Intel ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA). It first appeared in NetBSD 6.0.

Among Intel engineers, Robert Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> was the chief architect behind iasl. This manual page was written for NetBSD by Jukka Ruohonen <jruohonen@iki.fi>.
