NAME
 iasl — Intel ASL compiler and disassembler (iASL)
SYNOPSIS
| iasl | [options] <input file> | 
 
DESCRIPTION
 The iasl is a fully-featured compiler for the ACPI Source Language (ASL). It translates ASL to ACPI Machine Language (AML), but iasl can also act as a disassembler, translating AML to ASL.
