acdtrace

Function

Description

Acdtrace reports the processing of lines in an ACD file, including the resolution of any variables or ACD functions.

Acdtrace does not have its own command line. Instead, it will run the command line of any EMBOSS program by reading its ACD file and processing the command line and user responses in exactly the same way as the true program.

Acdtrace uses a very simple method. The first command line parameter is the name of the EMBOSS program to be compiled. All other command line parameters and qualifiers are processed by that program's ACD file.

Usage

Command line arguments

The first parameter is the name of the program to compile. All other command line parameters and qualifiers are defined for that program - see the documentation for the program of choice.

Output file format

The output file is empty, but any format available to the specified program can be used.

Data files

Acdtrace will use any data files specified in the ACD file of the specified program, but will ignore any data files that are only used directly by the program's code.
