YAZ-ASNCOMP(1)							     Commands							    YAZ-ASNCOMP(1)

NAME

       yaz-asncomp - YAZ ASN.1 compiler

SYNOPSIS

       yaz-asncomp [-v] [-c cfile] [-h hfile] [-p pfile] [-d config] [-I includeout] [-i includedir] [-m module] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       yaz-asncomp is an ASN.1 compiler that reads an ASN.1 specification in filename and produces C/C++ definitions and BER encoders/decoders for
       it.

       The produced C/C++ code and header files uses the ODR module of YAZ which is a library that encodes/decodes/prints BER packages.
       yaz-asncomp allows you to specify name of resulting source via options. Alternatively, you can specify a DEFINISIONS file, which provides
       customized output to many output files - if the ASN.1 specification file consists of many modules.

       This utility is written in Tcl. Any version of Tcl should work.

OPTIONS

       -v
	   Makes the ASN.1 compiler print more verbose about the various stages of operations.

       -c cfile
	   Specifies the name of the C/C++ file with encoders/decoders.

       -h hfile
	   Specifies the name of header file with definitions.

       -p pfile
	   Specifies the name of the a private header file with definitions. By default all definitions are put in header file (option -h).

       -d dfile
	   Specifies the name of a definitions file.

       -I iout
	   Specifies first part of directory in which header files are written.

       -i idir
	   Specifies second part of directory in which header files are written.

       -m module
	   Specifies that ASN.1 compiler should only process the module given. If this option is not specified, all modules in the ASN.1 file are
	   processed.

DEFINITIONS FILE

       The definitions file is really a Tcl script but follows traditional rules for Shell like configuration files. That is # denotes the
       beginning of a comment. Definitions are line oriented. The definitions files usually consists of a series of variable assignments of the
       form:

       set name value

       Available variables are:

       default-prefix
	   Sets prefix for names in the produced output. The value consists of three tokens: C function prefix, C typedef prefix and preprocessor
	   prefix respectively.

       prefix(module)
	   This value sets prefix values for module module. The value has same form as default-prefix.

       filename(module)
	   Specifies filename for C/header file for module module.

       init(module,h)
	   Code fragment to be put in first part of public header for module module.

       body(module,h)
	   Code fragment to be put in last part of public header for module module (trailer).

       init(module,c)
	   Code fragment to be put in first part of C based encoder/decoder for module module.

       body(module,c)
	   Code fragment to be put in last part of C based encoder/decoder for module module (trailer).

       map(module,name)
	   Maps ASN.1 type in module module of name to value.

       membermap(module,name,member)
	   Maps member member in SEQUENCE/CHOICE of name in module module to value. The value consists of one or two tokens. First token is name
	   of C preprocessor part. Second token is resulting C member name. If second token is omitted the value (one token) is both preprocessor
	   part and C struct,union.

       unionmap(module,name,member)
	   Maps member member in CHOICE of name in module module to value. Value consists of to or three tokens. The first token is name of the
	   integer in the union that is used as selector for the union itself. The second token is name of the union. The third token overrides
	   the name of the CHOICE member; if omitted the member name is used.

NAME

       simple2zoom - generic Swiss Army Server for proxying between IR standards

SYNOPSIS

       "simple2zoom" [ "-c" configFile ] [ "--" YAZ-options ] [ listener-address ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       "simple2zoom" provides a generic gateway between the Z39.50 and SRU/SRW Information Retrieval protocols.  Because it relies on the
       "Net::Z3950::SimpleServer" and "ZOOM" modules for the server and client funcationality respectively, because both of these modules are
       based on the YAZ toolkit, and because YAZ transparently handles all three standard IR protocols (ANDI/NISO Z39.50, SRU and SRW), it can
       function as a gateway from any and to any of these protocols.  However, its principle purpose is as a Z39.50 server that proxies requests
       through to a backend by acting as an SRU client.

       The following command-line options govern how the gateway functions:

       -c configFile
	   Specifies that the named configFile should be used to configure the functionality of the gateway: if this option is not specified, then
	   the file "client.xml" is used.  The format of the configuration file is described separately in "Net::Z3950::Simple2ZOOM::Config", and
	   a sample configuration file, "test.xml", is supplied in the "etc" directory of the distribution.

       --  Indicates the end of "simple2zoom"-specific options.  This is required if YAZ options are to be specified, so that "simple2zoom"
	   doesn't try to interpret them itself.

       YAZ-options
	   Command-line arguments subsequent to the "--" option are interpreted by the YAZ backend server as described at
	   http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/doc/server.invocation.tkl

	   These options provide the means to control many aspects of the gateway's functioning: for example, whether the server forks a new
	   process for each client or runs a single process using "select()"; how (if at all) to interpret incoming SRU requests; whether and how
	   to log protocol packets for debugging.

       listener-address
	   One or more YAZ-style listener addresses may be specified, and the server will accept connections on those addresses: for example,
	   @:9998, "unix:/tmp/somesocket" or "ssl:myhost.com:210".  If no explicit listener addresses are provided, the server listens on port
	   9999.
