NAME
       idc - interface description compiler

SYNOPSIS
       idc [ -I index-file ] [ -T table-of-contents-file ] [ -W warning-type
       ] [ description-file ...  ]

   where:
       index-file          The file to receive an index listing.
       table-of-contents-file
                           The file to receive a table of contents listing.
       warning-type        The type of compiler warning to be generated.
       description-file    An idl(4) source file.

DESCRIPTION
       Idc is a compiler for interface description files.  The description
       file or files given on the command line are compiled into a special
       format for later use an input to idi(1).  This special format allows
       idi to process the compiled files much faster than regular interface
       description files.

       If no description-files are given on the command line, standard input
       is read.

   Warnings
       You may direct the compiler to produce additional warnings during the
       compilation by using the -W warning-type option.  The following
       warning-type values are valid:

       empty          Warnings are produced for objects which have no sub-
                      objects.

       variables      Warnings are produced for variables which are
                      referenced, but not set, in any operation.

       override       Warnings are produced for objects that are redefined.
                      Redefining objects is allowed by idl, but may indicate
                      an error in the description-file1.

       prefix         Warnings are produced for objects which do not have
                      the "dg_" prefix.

       prefix=desired-prefix
                      Warnings are produced for objects which do not have
                      the "desired-prefix" prefix.

       all            Warnings are produced for all the above conditions.

OUTPUT
       The compiled description file is written to standard output.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Descriptions of syntax errors in the description-files are written to
       standard error.
