NAME
iasl — Intel ASL compiler and disassembler (iASL)
SYNOPSIS
iasl
[options] <input file>
DESCRIPTION
The iasl is a fully-featured compiler for the ACPI Source Language (ASL). It translates ASL to ACPI Machine Language (AML), but iasl can also act as a disassembler, translating AML to ASL.
OPTIONS
Global
-@ file
Specify command file.
-I dir
Specify additional include directory.
General Output
-p prefix
Specify a path or filename prefix for all output files.
-va
Disable all errors and warnings in the summary.
-vi
Use less verbose errors and warnings.
-vo
Enable optimization comments.
-w 1 | 2 | 3
Set warning reporting level.
AML Output Files
-s a | c
Create AML in assembler (*.asm) or C (*.c) source file.
-i a | c
Create assembler (*.inc) or C (*.h) include file.
-t a | c
Create AML in assembler or C hex table (*.hex).
AML Code Generation

-oi
Disable integer optimization to operation codes.
-on
Disable named reference string optimization.
-r revision
Override table header revision (1-255).
Listings

Disassemble AML and immediately compile it.
-e f1, f2
Include ACPI table(s) for external symbol resolution.
-2
