Features command syntax in Build tools reference

The features tool processes the Feature Database Manager (xml file) and generates the header file, feature choices obey file and/or features.dat file. The header file contains feature UIDs. The feature choices obey file is used to create different ROM images. The features.dat file which is a binary file, is used as a default configuration file by the emulator. The features tool accepts both feature manager and feature registry database as input, and for the feature registry database, it generates only features.dat.

features [options] <xml database  file> [<xml database file1> <xml database    file2> ...]

The following options can be used:

Options	Description
`-r[=<destination path>]` or`--hdrfile[=<destination path>]`	Creates a header file in <destination path> or in the default path `\epoc32\include`, if the destination path is not specified.
`-i[=<destination path>]` or`--ibyfile[=<destination path>`	Creates an IBY file in <destination path> or in the default path `\epoc32\rom\include\`, if the destination path is not specified.
`-d[=<destination path>]` or`--datfile[=<destination path>]`	Creates `features.dat` file in <destination path> or in the current directory, if the destination path is not specified.
`-c[=<destination path>]` or `--convert[=<destination path>]`	Converts the given feature registry database into a feature manager database (for example, featureregistryname_converted.xml) in <destination path> or in the current directory, if the destination path is not specified. Note: The converted file is named as featureregistryname_converted.xml by default. See Conversion of feature registry DB to feature manager DB
`-s or --strict`	Enables strict mode
`-v or --verbose`	Enables verbose mode
`-h or --help`	Displays help
`--version`	Displays the version of the tool

The features tool also allows you to specify a combination of options (for example, features -rcv).
