SYNOPSISpbc_disassemble [-bh?] [--bare|--header-only] [-o outfile] [file.pbc]
DESCRIPTION
"pbc_disassemble" translates Parrot bytecode ("PBC") into Parrot
assembly language ("PASM").
"file.pbc" is the bytecode file to disassemble. If a file is not
specified, the bytecode will be read from "stdin". Additionally, if the
"-o" switch is not given, the output is displayed to "stdout".
OPTIONS
-?, --help
Displays usage and help information.
-b, --bare
Displays bare PASM without the header and left column.
-h, --header-only
Displays only the constants table header.
-o filename, --output filename

from the command-line, and disassembles it.

Prints out the user help information and exits.
"static void show_last_error_and_exit(Parrot_PMC interp)"
