.SH NAME
asn1c \- ASN.1 Compiler
.ND ASN.1 compiler
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B asn1c
.RI "[ " option " | " filename " ].\|.\|."
.SH DESCRIPTION
asn1c is a tool to compile the ASN.1 specifications into C language structures
and accompanying routines to perform data encoding and decoding.

.SH OVERALL OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-E
Stop after the parsing stage. The output is reconstructed ASN.1
specification code, which is sent to the standard output.
.TP
.B \-F
Used together with \c
.B \-E\c
, instructs the compiler to stop after the ASN.1 syntax
tree fixing stage and dump the reconstructed ASN.1 specification
to the standard output.
.TP
.B \-L
Generate "-- #line" comments in
.B -E
output.
.TP
.B \-N
Do not generate certain type of comments in
.B -E
output.
.TP
.B \-P
Dump the compiled output to the standard output instead of creating the
target language files on disk.
.TP
.B \-S directory
Use the specified directory with ASN.1 skeleton files.
.TP
.B \-R
Restrict the compiler to generate only the ASN.1 tables,
omitting the usual support code.
.SH LANGUAGE OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-ftypes88
Use only ASN.1:1988 embedded types.
.TP
.B \-fnative-integers
Use native machine's integer types whenever possible,
instead of the complex ASN.1 INTEGER and ENUMERATED types.
.TP
.B \-fno-c99
Disable use of certain C99 extensions, like designated initializers.
.TP
.B \-funnamed-unions
Enable unnamed unions in structures definitions.
.SH WARNING OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-Werror
Treat warnings as errors; abort if any warning is produced.
.TP
.B \-Wdebug-lexer
Enable lexer debugging during the ASN.1 parsing stage.
.TP
.B \-Wdebug-fixer
Enable ASN.1 syntax tree fixer debugging during the fixing stage.
.TP
.B \-Wdebug-compiler
Enable debugging during the actual compile time.
