Tool

The tool command lets users run the external tools pointed to by act's configuration independently from the other parts of act.

Supported commands

• herd

Herd

$ act tool herd [-c|-arch ARCH_ID] -- [ARGS]

act tool herd runs the Herd binary configured in act.conf. All arguments after -- are sent directly to herd.

act tool herd supports a few flags of its own (placed between herd and --), which slightly alter the way in which it invokes Herd:

• -c adds a flag to the arguments sent to Herd that loads the C model override specified in the configuration;
• -arch ARCH_ID works the same as -c, but instead adds the assembly model override corresponding to the architecture ID ARCH_ID.
