Generated C Source Files

---

By default, the ASN1C compiler generates the following set of .c source files for a given ASN.1 module (note: the name of the module would be substituted for <moduleName>):

<moduleName>.c common definitions and functions (for example, asn1Free_<type>) and/or global value constant definitions.

<moduleName>Enc.c encode functions (asn1E_<type>)

<moduleName>Dec.c decode functions (asn1D_<type>)

If additional options are used (such as -genPrint, -genCopy, etc), additional files will be generated:

<moduleName>Copy.c copy functions, generated if -genCopy is specified

<moduleName>Print.c print functions, generated if -genPrint is specified

<moduleName>Compare.c comparison functions, generated if -genCompare is specified

<moduleName>PrtToStr.c print-to-string functions, generated if -genPrtToStr is specified

<moduleName>PrtToStrm.c print-to-stream functions, generated if -genPrtToStrm is specified

<moduleName>Table.c table constraint functions, generated if -genTable option is specified

<moduleName>Test.c test functions, generated if -genTest is specified

If -genCopy, -genPrint, etc have a filename parameter then the code will be written to the given file instead of the default one. If the -cfile <filename> option is used and -genCopy, -genPrint, etc options do not have parameters then all code will be placed in one source file with name <filename>.
