The command line version of Msc-generator runs on both Linux and Windows. On Windows it is installed to the same directory as the windowed application. That directory is included in the PATH, so you can call it from anywhere.

The command line version of Msc-generator supports PNG, PDF, EPS, SVG file formats, and EMF on Windows. To start it simply type

msc-gen -T pdf inputfile.signalling

This will give you inputfile.pdf. You can change ‘pdf’ to get the other file formats. If you omit the ‘-T’ switch altogether, a PNG will be generated.

If Msc-generator has successfully generated an output, it prints ‘Success.’. Instead, or in addition, it may print warnings or errors, when it does not understand something.
