These programs are:
OPTIONSCurrently there are no options. idl2eth can be invoked as follows.1. To write the C code to stdout.
idl2eth <your_file.idl> eg: idl2eth echo.idl2. To write to a file, just redirect the output.
idl2eth echo.idl > packet-test.c ENVIRONMENTidl2eth will look for ethereal_be.py and ethereal_gen.py in $PYTHONPATH/site-packages/ and if not found, will try the current directory ./The -p option passed to omniidl (inside idl2eth) indicates where ethereal_be.py and ethereal_gen.py will be searched. This may need tweaking if you place these files somewhere else. If it complains about being unable to find some modules (eg tempfile.py), you may want to check if PYTHONPATH is set correctly. eg: PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python1.5/ SEE ALSOethereal(1)NOTESidl2eth (including ethereal_be.py and ethereal_gen.py) are part of the Ethereal distribution. The latest version of Ethereal can be found at http://www.ethereal.com.idl2eth uses omniidl, and IDL parser, and can be found at http://www.uk.research.att.com/omniORB/omniORB.html TODOSome of the more important things to do are:
