About msc2gen

Msc2gen is a simple translator from MSC textual representation format (event-oriented, standardized by ITU-Z.120) into Msc-generator textual representation.

Usage

Type in command line:

msc2gen <in_file.msc> <out_file.signalling>

Example of input MSC file stop_and_wait.msc:

msc msc_stop_and_wait;
    Sender   : instance;
    Receiver : instance;
    
    Sender   : in 'sEnv(buffer)' from env;
    Sender   : out 'sFrame(buffer =: frData)' to Receiver;
    Receiver : in 'sFrame(buffer =: frData)' from Sender;
    
    Receiver : out 'rEnv(frData)' to env;
    
    Receiver : out rFrame to Sender;
    Sender   : in  rFrame from Receiver;
    
    Sender   : endinstance;
    Receiver : endinstance;
endmsc;

and the output msc_stop_and_wait.signalling file:

title: msc_stop_and_wait;
hscale=auto;

Sender, Receiver;

->Sender: sEnv(buffer);
Sender->Receiver: sFrame(buffer =: frData);
Receiver->: rEnv(frData);
Receiver->Sender: rFrame;
