Usage: cat <data> | spicy-dump [options] <inputs> ...

Options:

  -d | --debug                    Include debug instrumentation into generated code.
  -f | --file <path>              Read input from <path> instead of stdin.
  -l | --list-parsers             List available parsers and exit; use twice to include aliases.
  -p | --parser <name>            Use parser <name> to process input. Only needed if more than one parser is available.
  -v | --version                  Print version information.
  -A | --abort-on-exceptions      When executing compiled code, abort() instead of throwing HILTI exceptions.
  -B | --show-backtraces          Include backtraces when reporting unhandled exceptions.
  -D | --compiler-debug <streams> Activate compile-time debugging output for given debug streams (comma-separated; 'help' for list).
  -L | --library-path <path>      Add path to list of directories to search when importing modules.
  -J | --json                     Print JSON output.
  -P | --enable-print             Show output of Spicy 'print' statements (default: off).
  -Q | --include-offsets          Include stream offsets of parsed data in output.
  -R | --report-times             Report a break-down of compiler's execution time.
  -S | --skip-dependencies        Do not automatically compile dependencies during JIT.
  -X | --debug-addl <addl>        Implies -d and adds selected additional instrumentation (comma-separated; see 'help' for list).
  -Z | --enable-profiling         Report profiling statistics after execution.
       --strict-public-api        Skip optimizations that change the public C++ API of generated code.
       --no-strict-public-api     Allow optimizations that change the public C++ API of generated code.

Environment variables:

  SPICY_PATH                      Colon-separated list of directories to search for modules. In contrast to --library-paths using this flag overwrites builtin paths.

Inputs can be .spicy, .hlt, *.spicy *.hlt *.hlto.
