NAME¶

z3 - a state-of-the art theorem prover from Microsoft Research

SYNOPSIS¶

z3 [options] [-file:]file

DESCRIPTION¶

This manual page documents briefly the z3 command.

z3 Z3 is a state-of-the art theorem prover from Microsoft Research. It can be used to check the satisfiability of logical formulas over one or more theories. Z3 offers a compelling match for software analysis and verification tools, since several common software constructs map directly into supported theories.

Input format¶

-smt

Use parser for SMT input format.

-smt2

Use parser for SMT 2 input format.

-dl

Use parser for Datalog input format.

-dimacs

Use parser for DIMACS input format.

-log

Use parser for Z3 log input format.

-in

Read formula from standard input.

Miscellaneous¶

-h | -?

Prints the usage information.

-version

Prints version number of Z3.

-v:level

Be verbose, where <level> is the verbosity level.

-nw

Disable warning messages.

-p

Display Z3 global (and module) parameters.

-pd

Display Z3 global (and module) parameter descriptions.

-pm:name

Display Z3 module <name> parameters.

-pp:name

Display Z3 parameter description, if <name> is not provided, then all module names are listed.

--

All remaining arguments are assumed to be part of the input file name. This option allows Z3 to read files with strange names such as: -foo.smt2.

Resources¶

-T:timeout

Set the timeout (in seconds).

-t:timeout

Set the soft timeout (in milli seconds). It only kills the current query.

-memory:Megabytes

Set a limit for virtual memory consumption.

Output¶

-st

Display statistics.

Parameter setting¶

Global and module parameters can be set in the command line. Use 'z3 -p' for the complete list of global and module parameters.

param_name=value

For setting global parameters.

module_name.param_name=value

For setting module parameters.
