SDEF(1)                                  BSD General Commands Manual                                 SDEF(1)

NAME
     sdef -- scripting definition extractor

SYNOPSIS
     sdef application

DESCRIPTION
     sdef gets the scripting definition (``sdef'') from the specified scriptable application and writes it
     to standard output.  The application does not have to have an actual sdef in it; sdef can translate
     from the older aete and Cocoa suite definition (scriptSuite/scriptTerminology pairs) formats.

     From there, you can examine the sdef directly, or pipe it to sdp(1) for further processing.
