# freehdl-gennodes(1)

Abstract syntax tree generator used by the VHDL compiler/simulator FreeHDL.

## NAME

FreeHDL-GENNODES - Abstract syntax tree generator used by the VHDL compiler/simulator FreeHDL.

## SYNOPSIS

**freehdl-gennodes** CMD CHUNK IN-FILE OUT-FILE

## DESCRIPTION

**FreeHDL-GENNODES** is an extensible framework for representing an abstract syntax tree.  The program reads the IN-FILE and generates output for CHUNK in OUT-FILE, according to CMD.

When CMD is \`header', FreeHDL-GENNODES writes a header file to OUT-FILE that should be included by the users of the CHUNK.  When it is \`impl', it writes the implementation of CHUNK.
