    \title IDC - The Interface Description Compiler (ActiveQt)

    \ingroup activeqt-tools

    \keyword idc

    The IDC tool is part of the ActiveQt build system and makes
    it possible to turn any Qt binary into a full COM object server
    with only a few lines of code.

    IDC understands the following command line parameters:

    \table
    \header
    \li Option
    \li Result
    \row
    \li dll -idl idl -version x.y
    \li Writes the IDL of the server \e dll to the file \e idl. The
       type library will have version x.y.
    \row
    \li dll -tlb tlb
    \li Replaces the type library in \e dll with \e tlb
    \row
    \li -v
    \li Print version information
    \row
    \li -regserver dll
    \li Register the COM server \e dll
    \row
    \li -unregserver
    \li Unregister the COM server \e dll
    \endtable

    It is usually never necessary to invoke IDC manually, as the \c
    qmake build system takes care of adding the required post
    processing steps to the build process.
    See the \l[QtActiveQt]{ActiveQt} documentation for details.
