       NMLC — A compiler from NML code to NFO and/or GRF files.

-c      Crop extraneous transparent blue from real sprites.

       -u      Save  real  sprites  uncompressed to GRF files. This saves a lot of time during encoding but it's
               not  recommended  when  creating  a  file  for  distribution  since  it  makes  the  output  file
               substantially bigger.

       --grf=file
               Write output in GRF format to <file>.

       --nfo=file
               Write output in NFO format to <file>.

       --nml=file
               Write output in NML format to <file>.

       --output=file | -ofile
               Write  output  to <file>. The output type is detected from the extension of the filename. It must
               be one of nfo, nml or grf.

       --md5=file
               Write an md5sum of the resulting grf to <file>.

       --debug | -d
               Print a dump of the AST to stdout.

       --version
               Print programme's version number and exit.

       --help | -h
               Print usage information.

       --stack | -s
               Dump stack when an error occurs.

       -M      Output a rule suitable for make describing  the  graphics  dependencies  of  the  main  grf  file
               (requires input file or --grf)

       --MF=file
               When used with -M, specifies a file to write the dependencies to

       --MT=file
               Target of the rule emitted by dependency generation (requires -M)

       --custom-tags=file | -tfile
               Load custom tags from <file> [default: custom_tags.txt].

       --lang-dir=dir | -ldir
               Load language files from directory <dir> [default: lang].

       --default-lang=file
               The default language is stored in <file> [default: english.lng].

       --sprites-dir=dir | -adir
               Store 32bpp sprites in directory <dir> [default: sprites].

       --start-sprite=num
               Set  the  first  sprite  number  to write (do not use except when you output nfo that you want to
               include in other files).

       --palette=palette | -ppalette
               Force nml to use the palette <pal> [default: ANY]. Valid values are 'DOS', 'WIN', 'ANY'.

       --quiet
               Disable all warnings. Errors will be printed normally.

       --cache-dir=dir
               Cache files are stored in directory <dir> [default: .nmlcache].

       --clear-orphaned
               Remove unused / orphaned items from cache files.

       --verbosity=level
               Set the verbosity level for informational output [default: 3, max: 4].
