-.SH NAME
-tao_idl \- Compile IDL sources for use with the ACE ORB (TAO)
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B tao_idl
-.B [
-.I OPTION
-.B ... ] 
-filename
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B tao_idl
-is a program that is used to compile
-.I IDL
-source code.  The IDL compiler generates 6 files from each .idl file, the file
-names are obtained by taking the IDL basename and appending C.h, C.i, C.cpp,
-S.h, S.i and S.cpp; the client stubs are declared in the C.h file, the
-skeletons in the S.h file. Please see the Options list on how to get different
-suffixes for these files. 
-
-Both clients and servers should link against the object files for the stubs
-and skeletons, this is needed to transparently support collocated objects.
-
-The server skeleton can make use of different lookup strategies to match the
-incoming operation with the correct operation at the servant.  Dynamic Hashing
-and Perfect Hashing are the two different operation lookup strategies that are
-currently supported in tao_idl.  By default, tao_idl tries to use Perfect
-Hashing strategy.  If supported and available, gperf generates the lookup
-methods for this strategy. 
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-V
-the compiler printouts its version and exits
-.TP
-.BI "\-Wb," "option_list" 
-pass options to the backend
-.Sp
-.IP
-.BI "export_macro=" "macro_name"
-The compiler will emit macro_name right after each class or extern keyword,
-this is needed for Windows/NT that requires special directives to export
-symbols from DLLs, usually the definition is just a space on unix platforms.
-.Sp
-.IP
-.BI "export_include=" "include_path"
-The compiler will generate code to include include_path at the top of the
-client header, this is usually a good place to define the export macro. 
-.TP
-.B \-E
-only invoke the preprocessor
-.TP
-.BI "-Wp," "option_list"
-pass options to the preprocessor

-.TP
-.B \-Y
-passed to the preprocessor
-.TP
-.B "\-H perfect_hash"
-To specify the IDL compiler to generate skelton code that uses perfect hashed
-operation lookup strategy, which is the default strategy. Perfect hashing uses
-gperf program, to generate lookup methods.
-.TP
-.B "\-H dynamic_hash"
-To specify the IDL compiler to generate skelton code that uses dynamic hashed
-operation lookup strategy.
-.TP
-.B "\-H binary_search"
-To specify the IDL compiler to generate skelton code that uses binary search
-based operation lookup strategy.
-.TP
-.B "\-H linear_search"
-To specify the IDL compiler to generate skelton code that uses linear search
-based operation lookup strategy.
-.TP
-.B "\-in"
-To generate #include statements with <>'s for the standard include
-files (e.g. tao/corba.h) indicating them as non-changing files
-.TP
-.B "\-ic"
-To generate #include statements with ""s for changing standard include
-files (e.g. tao/corba.h). 
-.TP
-.B \-g
-To specify the path for the perfect hasing program (GPERF). Default is
-$ACE_ROOT/bin/gperf or whatever the ACE_GPERF macro was defined to be during
-compilation of TAO.
-based operation lookup strategy.
-.TP
-.B \-o
-To specify the output directory to IDL compiler as to where all the
-IDL\-compiler\-generated files are to be put. By default, all the files are
-put in the current directory from where
-.B tao_idl
-is called.

-Client's header file name ending. Default is "C.h".

-.B \-hs
-Server's header file name ending. Default is "S.h".

-Generate stubs and skeletons using compiled marshaling.
