.SH NAME
iasl \- ACPI Source Language compiler/decompiler
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B iasl
.RI [ <option> ... ]
.RI <input-file>
.B ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the
.B iasl
command. The option list is taken from the iasl interactive help.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
.\" respectively.
.B iasl
is an ASL compiler and decompiler. This command provides both the ability
to translate one or more ASL source files to their corresponding AML binary
files, and the ability to translate AML binary files back to readable
ASL source.
