To generate SIDL from a file using the default repository to resolve symbols, you should invoke Babel as follows 13.2:
% babel -text=SIDL file.sidlor use the short form
% babel -tSIDL file.sidl
Alternatively, you can generate SIDL from XML symbols, again assuming the default respository is used to resolve symbols, by typing the following at the command line:
% babel -text=SIDL packagenameor use the short form
% babel -tSIDL packagename
