  **--generator** {c,c-debug,d,nim,pascal,volt} \[--extensions EXTENSIONS\] \[--spec {gl,egl,glx,wgl}\] \[--no-loader\] \[--omit-khrplatform\] \[--local-files\] \[--quiet\]

## OPTIONS

- **-h**, **--help**

- **--profile** {core,compatibility}

  OpenGL profile (defaults to compatibility)

- **--out-path** OUT

  Output path for loader

- **--api** API

  API type/version pairs, like "gl=3.2,gles=", no version means latest

- **--generator** {c,c-debug,d,nim,pascal,volt}

  Language to generate the binding for

- **--extensions** EXTENSIONS

  Path to extensions file or comma separated list of extensions, if missing all extensions are included

- **--spec** {gl,egl,glx,wgl}

  Name of the spec

**--no-loader**

- **--omit-khrplatform**

  Omits inclusion of the khrplatform.h file which is often unnecessary. Only has an effect if used together with c generators.

- **--local-files**
