thrift  (1) code generator/compiler for Thrift IDL

SYNOPSIS

thrift [options] source_file

DESCRIPTION

Thrift is a framework for efficient serialization and RPC services. The thrift compiler accepts a source file containing definitions of Thrift structs and services, and generates the language-specific code to implement them.

OPTIONS

-version
print the compiler version and exit
-o DIRECTORY
Set the output directory for gen-* packages (default: current directory)
-out DIRECTORY
Set the ouput location for generated files. (no gen-* folder will be created)
-I DIRECTORY
Add a directory to the list of directories searched for include directives
-nowarn
Suppress all compiler warnings (BAD!)
-strict
Strict compiler warnings on
-v[erbose]
Verbose mode
-r[ecurse]
Also generate included files
-debug
Parse debug trace to stdout
--gen STRING
Generate code with a dynamically-registered generator. STRING has the form language[:key1=val1[,key2,[key3=val3]]]. Keys and values are options passed to the generator. Many options will not require values. For a complete list of supported generators, run thrift without arguments.
