# Generate

This option generates an uncompiled XML source file from a plaintext grammar file.

To enable this feature, type `edktool g -i <inputfile>` at the command line. You can also specify the optional `-o` and `-e` parameters.

You can use wildcard expressions in the `-e` parameter; see Wildcard Expressions in edktool for more information.

`-i <inputfile>` | The plaintext grammar file to process. This file must contain one potential match on each line.
`-e <entity>` | The resulting XML grammar file contains a single entity; you can specify the name of this entity as the value of the -e parameter. If you do not specify a name, the entity will be given a default name based on the name of the input file.
`-o <outputfile>` | The output file name.
