acdvalid
Function
Description
Acdvalid processes the ACD file for an EMBOSS program and reports any
errors or warnings caused by incorrect, deprecated or obsolete syntax.
Acdvalid 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.
Acdvalid 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
Acdvalid 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.
