Baseline Resource Path |
The folder which contains the baseline manifest files. (-s directory) |
Debug Output Path |
The path in which to place the .dbg C include file. (-x path) |
Enable Callout Macro |
Adds a callout macro to invoke user code at logging. Not available for C#, and ignored. (-co) |
Enable Debug Output Path |

File extension for the generated header |
Specifies the extension of the generated header file. (-e extension) |
Generate Baseline Resource |
Creates a baseline of your instrumentation. |
Generate C# (managed) logging class |
Generates a C# (managed) logging class that includes methods that you would call to log events in your manifest. (-cs namespace) |
Generate header file for containing counter names and GUIDs |
Use this option to specify the folder into which you want the compiler to place the generated header file. |
Generate Kernel Mode Logging Macros |
Generates kernel-mode logging macros. (-km) |
Generate MOF File |
Generate down-level support for all functions and macros generated. MOF file will be generated from the manifest. MOF file will be placed in the location specified by the -h option (-mof). |
Generate OLE2 Header |
Generates an OLE2 header file. (-o) |
Generate static C# (managed) logging class |
Generates a static C# (managed) logging class that includes methods that you would call to log events in your manifest. (-css namespace) |
Generate User Mode Logging Macros |
Generate user-mode logging macros. (-um) |
Generated Files Base Name |
Specifies the base name of all generated files. (-z basename) |
Generated RC and Binary Message Files Path |
Specifies the path to the generated the RC and binary message files. |
Header File Path |
Specifies the path the generated header file. (-h path) |
Maximum Message Length |
Use this argument to have the compiler generate a warning if any message exceeds length characters. (-m length) |
Prefix Macro Name |
Use this argument to override the default prefix that the compiler uses for the logging macro names and method names. (-p prefix) |
RC File Path |
The folder into which you want the compiler to place the generated resource compiler script (.rc file) and the generated .bin files. (-r path) |
Remove Characters From Symbolic Name |
Use this argument to remove characters from the beginning of the symbolic name that you specified for the event. (-P prefix) |
Set Customer Bit |
Sets the Customer bit in the entire message Ids. (-c) |
Terminate Message With Null |
Terminates all strings with nulls in the message tables. (-n) |
Unicode Input File |
Specifies that the input file contains Unicode content. (-u)
The default is ANSI. |
Unicode Message In Bin File |
Specifies that the messages in the output .bin file are Unicode. (-U)
This is the default. |
Use Base Name Of Input |
Use this argument to have the compiler use the base name of the input file for the name of the output .bin files. (-b) |
Use Decimal Values |
Use this argument to use decimal values for the Severity and Facility constants in the header file instead of hexadecimal values. (-d) |
Validate Against Baseline Resource |
Use this argument when you create a new version of your manifest and want to check it for application compatibility against the baseline that you created using the -s option. |
Verbose |
Use this option to generate verbose output. (-v) |
