+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility is a compiler/decompiler for ACPI Source Language (ASL)
+and ACPI Machine Language (AML).
+Major features of
+.Nm
+include:
+.Bl -bullet -offset indent
+.It
+Full support for the ACPI 3.0b Specification including ASL grammar
+elements and operators.
+.It
+Extensive compiler syntax and semantic error checking, especially in
+the area of control methods.
+This reduces the number of errors that are
+not discovered until the AML code is actually interpreted (i.e., the
+compile-time error checking reduces the number of run-time errors).
+.It
+Multiple types of output files, including formatted listing files with
+intermixed source, several types of AML files, and error messages.
+.El
+.Sh OPTIONS
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl 2
+Emit ACPI 2.0 compatible ASL code.
+.It Fl b Sm Cm p | t | b Sm
+Create compiler debug/trace file
+.Pq Pa *.txt .
+Types: Parse/Tree/Both.
+.It Fl c
+Parse only, no output generation.
+.It Fl d Ar file
+Disassemble AML to ASL source code file
+.Pq Pa *.dsl .
+.It Fl dc Ar file
+Disassemble AML and immediately compile it.
+(Obtain DSDT from current system if no input file.)
+.It Fl e
+Generate
+.Fn External
+statements for unresolved symbols.
+.It Fl f
+Ignore errors, force creation of AML output file(s).
+.It Fl g
+Get ACPI tables and write to files
+.Pq Pa *.dat .
+.It Fl h
+Additional help and compiler debug options.
+.It Fl hc
+Display operators allowed in constant expressions.
+.It Fl hr
+Display ACPI reserved method names.
+.It Fl i Sm Cm a | c Sm

+.It Fl oi
+Disable integer optimization to Zero/One/Ones.
+.It Fl on
+Disable named reference string optimization.
+.It Fl ot
+Display compile times.
+.It Fl p Ar prefix
+Specify filename prefix for all output files (including
