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).

     -tp     Compile tables with flex/bison prototype.

     -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.
