Using VITO
VITO uses a command line interface developed for a UNIX/Linux/Cygwin environment.
The calling syntax is:
vito [-d] [-t] [-v] [-o file] [file ...]
Items in [] are optional.
VITO reads each file in sequence
and converts any implicit style always blocks into one-hot style structural code.
If no input file is given, vito
reads from the standard input file.
If the -o
option is not used, output is sent to standard output.
Thus, vito can be used as a filter.
The following options are supported.
They may occur in any order but multiple options may not be specified after
a single '-'.
- -d
- Outputs the four intermediate files used by vito
into named files.
Names are as determined by
.vitorc in the UNIX version or in vito.rc in the DOS version.
This information can be useful in debugging the
VITO
processor and gives
insight into how
vito
works.
- -t
- Appends the comefrom table to VITO's output.
This can be useful for debugging.
- -v
- Puts
vito
into verbose mode.
The version of
vito
and summary results from each pass are displayed.
This information is output to the standard error output.
- -o file
- Directs the output of
vito
to the named
file
rather than the standard output file.
VITO returns the exit value 0 if all input files were successfully converted;
otherwise, it returns a non-zero value.
