.SH NAME
cvc3 \- automatic SMT theorem prover
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cvc3
.BI [ option ]...\ [ filename ]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B CVC3 
is an automated validity checker for a many-sorted (typed)
first-order logic with built-in theories, including some support for
quantifiers, partial functions, and predicate subtypes. The current
built-in theories are the theories of
.IP \(bu 4
equality over free (aka uninterpreted) function and predicate symbols,
.IP \(bu
real and integer linear arithmetic (with some support for non-linear arithmetic),
.IP \(bu
bit vectors,
.IP \(bu
arrays,
.IP \(bu
tuples,
.IP \(bu
records,
.IP \(bu
user-defined inductive datatypes.
.PP
CVC3 operates on files in the CVC
.I Presentation Input Language
or the
.I SMTLIB
input language. If no input file is given on the command line, CVC3
reads standard input.

.SH OPTIONS
Only a few of the most frequently used options are given below. For
more details, see CVC3's built-in help 
.RI ( "cvc3 -help" )
or the CVC3
website.
.TP
.B \-h[elp]
List all of the options for controlling CVC3. Boolean options are marked
.IR (b) .
.RB "They are enabled by prefixing with " + " and disabled by prefixing with " - .
.RI "In the help output, the " current " setting is given."
For example, the output lists
.IP
(b) \-interactive      Interactive mode

Indicating that interactive mode is disabled. to enable interactive mode,
.RI "the option " +interactive " is therefore used."
.RI "Other options are marked " "(s)" " for string arguments, or " "(i)"
for integer arguments.
.TP
.B \-version
Print the version of CVC3 and exit.
.TP
.B \-lang 
.RI ( presentation | smtlib | internal )
Select the input language used. The default is 
.IR presentation .
.TP
.B +int[eractive]
Enable interactive mode. Commands are read from standard input and
processed immediately.
.TP
.B +stats
Print run-time statistics.
.TP
.BI "\-timeout " t
.RI "Automatically terminate CVC3 after " t " seconds."
