arfc

arfc is the arf compiler/transpiler. It is responsible for transforming IDL definitions into definitions usable by other languages.

For information on how to use IDL to define arf structures, services and clients, see the idl repository.

Usage

arfc -l LANG -i INPUT -o OUTPUT

--input value, -i value   Input IDL file to be used to generate sources 
--lang value, -l value    The target language (go/golang/ruby)
--output value, -o value  Directory path to emit sources to
--ruby-module value       When lang is set to "ruby", overrides the module in 
                          which generated sources will be contained within. 
                          Must be in the format Some::Module::Path.

Options --input, --lang, and --output are required.

• --input (or -i) takes the path to an IDL file containing definitions to be generated to the target language.
• --output (or -o) takes the path to the destination directory where source files will be written.
• --lang (or -l) takes the target language in which the tool will generate sources.

When generating sources to ruby, the following options are available:

• --ruby-module: Overrides the module path in which classes will be generated. By default, the tool takes the package value of the input IDL and converts it into a module path. When defined, this overrides the detected value from the IDL file.
