Synopsis
codeql query decompile [--output=<file>] <options>... -- <file>Description
[Plumbing] Read an intermediate representation of a compiled query from a .qlo file.
The code will be written to standard output, unless the --output
option is specified.
Primary options
<file>
[Mandatory] QLO file to read from.
-o, --output=<file>
The file to write the desired output to.
--kind=<kind>
The kind of the intermediate representation to read. The options are:
dil: A Datalog intermediate representation.
ra: A relational algebra intermediate representation. This is used by
the query evaluation phase.
bytecode: Show the raw (uncompressed) bytecode from the .qlo file.
Mostly useful for debugging the compiler/evaluator.
The default is dil if the query was compiled with
--include-dil-in-qlo and ra otherwise
Common options
-h, --help
Show this help text.
-J=<opt>
[Advanced] Give option to the JVM running the command.
(Beware that options containing spaces will not be handled correctly.)
-v, --verbose
Incrementally increase the number of progress messages printed.
-q, --quiet
Incrementally decrease the number of progress messages printed.
--verbosity=<level>
[Advanced] Explicitly set the verbosity level to one of errors,
warnings, progress, progress+, progress++, progress+++. Overrides -v
and -q.
--logdir=<dir>
[Advanced] Write detailed logs to one or more files in the given directory, with generated names that include timestamps and the name of the running subcommand.
(To write a log file with a name you have full control over, instead
give --log-to-stderr and redirect stderr as desired.)
