These options should come first, before any tool-specific options: |
| * ''-T//techname//'': changes the technology [[config:start|configuration files]] to ''techname'' | * ''-T//techname//'': changes the technology [[config:start|configuration files]] to ''techname''. This specifies that the config files are in directory ''$ACT_HOME/conf/''//techname//. If an absolute path is specified, then that path is used as the directory location for configuration files. |
| * ''-D//name//=//value//'': defines the specified parameter (either a ''pbool'' or a ''pint'') as a global parameter that can then by used by the ACT file | * ''-D//name//=//value//'': defines the specified parameter (either a ''pbool'' or a ''pint'') as a global parameter that can then by used by the ACT file |
| * ''-cnf=//file//'': reads in the specified file as an ACT configuration file (after the default files for the specified technology) | * ''-cnf=//file//'': reads in the specified file as an ACT configuration file (after the default files for the specified technology) |
| * ''-V//name//'': turn on verbose log messages in the ACT library. Currently ''name'' can be: | * ''-V//name//'': turn on verbose log messages in the ACT library. Currently ''name'' can be: |
| * ''config'' : print out absolute paths for the config files read. This goes to stderr by default | * ''config'' : print out absolute paths for the config files read. This goes to stderr by default |
| * ''-log=//file//'': save log messages to the specified file | * ''-log=//file//'': save log messages to the specified file |
| | * ''-lev=//level//'': set log level flags |
| | * ''-opt=//str//'': set option string for ACT ''getopt()'' API |

| | An individual project might want to include a standard set of ACT options (e.g. -T//tech//) for all ACT tool invocations. The environment variable ''ACT_STD_CMDLINE'' can be set to the standard command-line options. |
