Usage: /usr/bin/capnpc [<option>...] <source>...
Compiles Cap'n Proto schema files and generates corresponding source code in one
or more languages.
Options:
-I<dir>, --import-path=<dir>
Add <dir> to the list of directories searched for non-relative imports
(ones that start with a '/').
-i, --generate-id
Generate a new 64-bit unique ID for use in a Cap'n Proto schema.
--no-standard-import
Do not add any default import paths; use only those specified by -I.
Otherwise, typically /usr/include and /usr/local/include are added by
default.
-o<lang>[:<dir>], --output=<lang>[:<dir>]
Generate source code for language <lang> in directory <dir> (default:
current directory). <lang> actually specifies a plugin to use. If
<lang> is a simple word, the compiler searches for a plugin called
'capnpc-<lang>' in $PATH. If <lang> is a file path containing slashes,
it is interpreted as the exact plugin executable file name, and $PATH is
not searched. If <lang> is '-', the compiler dumps the request to
standard output.
--src-prefix=<prefix>
If a file specified for compilation starts with <prefix>, remove the
prefix for the purpose of deciding the names of output files. For
example, the following command:
capnp compile --src-prefix=foo/bar -oc++:corge foo/bar/baz/qux.capnp
would generate the files corge/baz/qux.capnp.{h,c++}.
--verbose
Log informational messages to stderr; useful for debugging.
--version
Print version information and exit.
--help
Display this help text and exit.
