Reference

The reference section is the precise, implementation-aligned lookup for the compiler driver and the pipeline it runs. It is the page to keep open while you work: exact flags, subcommands, emission options, and the stage list quonc runs from source text to backend artifact. The prose guides link here for definitions; this section does not repeat the walkthroughs.

Who this is for

Anyone who needs an exact fact about a flag, a subcommand, or a pipeline stage — daily users, guide readers following a link, and contributors checking current behavior against the docs. No tutorial context is assumed.

What this covers

• quonc CLI — every flag and subcommand the compiler driver accepts, with examples for the common emission paths (QASM, neutral-atom schedule, resource report, NAViz).
• Compiler pipeline — the high-level stage list quonc runs (parse, typecheck, elaborate, lower to MLIR, optimize, emit), with the architecture pages going inside each stage.

Where to go next

For walkthroughs that use these flags in context, see the guides; for what each pipeline stage does internally, read the architecture pages.
