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:

-d ARG
--debug=ARG
Set the debug level. Supported levels are 0 to 4, default is 2.

--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.

-D ARG
--define=ARG
Define name for preprocessor.

-I PATH
--include=PATH
Add search path for include files.

--deps=FILENAME
Generate dependency information, suitable for inclusion in a Makefile.

-l ARG
--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.

--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.
