where the following options are available:
-case, -debug, -ignore, -sh sh-options, -silent, -v variable=value.
In the simplest form (first line of the synopsis), taking as input file.svl, which contains a verification script in SVL (Script Verification Language), svl produces actions invoking CADP tools. See svl-lang for a description of the SVL language.
svl runs a given script through the following steps:
During script execution, several temporary intermediate files may be created, and removed as soon as possible in order to minimize disk space consumption. svl also maintains a log file named file.log that contains a full diagnostic of the script execution.
Note that file.svl (or file1.svl) can be omitted if there exists a unique file with extension .svl in the current directory, in which case this file is considered as the input.
file.svl
may be interpreted as a Unix executable, which may be run using the command
``./
file.svl'' instead of ``svl
file.svl''.
To do so, file.svl must have the ``execute'' permission, and must begin with a so-called ``Shebang'' of the form:
#! /usr/bin/env -S svl optionswhere
#
is the very first character (first line, first column) of file.svl.
If options is empty, then -S
may be omitted.
svl_kernel
will be searched in $SVL/bin.`arch` instead
of $CADP/bin.`arch`.
svl version 2.0 and later: Hubert Garavel, Frederic Lang, Marc Herbert.
svl versions 1.0 to 1.6 (kept for internal use and never distributed officially): Mark Jorgensen, Christophe Discours, Hubert Garavel.
The authors owe thanks to Radu Mateescu and Charles Pecheur for their feedback about svl 1.* and to Laurent Mounier for useful advice.

To avoid clashes with existing files, file names generated by svl are prefixed with a string of the form
svl
xxx_
, where xxx is a 3 digits number. Hence it is recommended
to avoid naming user files this way.
