MicroTESK

h1. MicroTESK Command-Line Options

_~By Andrei Tatarnikov~_

MicroTESK works in two modes: specification translation and test generation, which are enabled with the @--translate@ (used by default) and @--generate@ keys correspondingly. In addition, the @--help@ key prints information on the command-line format.

The @--translate@ and @--generate@ keys are inserted into the command-line by @compile.sh/compile.bat@ and @generate.sh/generate.bat@ scripts correspondingly. Other options should be specified explicitly to customize the behavior of MicroTESK.

*Options:*

| --comments-enabled          | -ce        | Enables printing comments; if not specified no comments are printed [works with --generate] |

| --comments-debug            | -cd        | Enables printing detailed comments; must be used together with --comments-enabled  [works with --generate] |

*Notes:*

Format of the <code>--arch-dirs</code> option argument is the following: 

<pre><code>--arch-dirs mips=arch/mips:arm=arch/arm:sparc=arch/sparc</code></pre>

# Entries are separated by <code>'':''</code>.

# Each entry has the following format: <code><architecture-name>=<path-to-the-architecture-directory></code>.

# If a path is relative, <code>MICROTESK_HOME</code> is used as a prefix.
