Go to the output files for this example

Command line arguments

The first parameter is the name of the program to pretty print.

All other command line parameters and qualifiers are essentially ignored as processing stops once the ACD file is printed. A few of the general qualifiers have the potential to conflict with the function of acdpretty..

Input file format

The input file is the ACD file for the specified program

Output file format

The output file is a pretty printed copy of the original ACD file.

All sections and attributed will be indented. All values will be quoted. Lines will be wrapped at a reasonable width.

The output file is intended as a standard format for parsers used by GUI and other interface wrappers, rather than using the original ACD file directly.
