NAME

uil -- The user interface language compiler

SYNOPSIS

uil [options ] [file]

DESCRIPTION

The uil command invokes the UIL compiler. The User Interface Language
(UIL) is a specification language for describing the initial state of
a user interface for a Motif application. The specification describes
the objects (menus, dialog boxes, labels, push buttons, and so on)
used in the interface and specifies the routines to be called when
the interface changes state as a result of user interaction.

file Specifies the file to be compiled through the UIL compiler.

options Specifies one or more of the following options:

-Ipathname
This option causes the compiler to look for
include files in the directory specified if the
include files have not been found in the paths
that already were searched. Specify this option
followed by a pathname, with no intervening
spaces.

-m Machine code is listed. This directs the compiler
to place in the listing file a description of the
records that it added to the User Interface
Database (UID). This helps you isolate errors.
The default is no machine code.

-o file


Directs the compiler to produce a UID. By
default, UIL creates a UID with the name a.uid.
The file specifies the filename for the UID. No
UID is produced if the compiler issues any
diagnostics categorized as error or severe. UIDs
are portable only across same-size machine
architectures.

-s Directs the compiler to set the locale before
compiling any files. The locale is set in an
implementation-dependent manner. On ANSI C-based
systems, the locale is usually set by calling
setlocale(LC_ALL, ""). If this option is not
specified, the compiler does not set the locale.

-v file Directs the compiler to generate a listing. The
file specifies the filename for the listing. If
the -v option is not present, no listing is
generated by the compiler. The default is no
listing.

-w Specifies that the compiler suppress all warning
and informational messages. If this option is
not present, all messages are generated,
regardless of the severity.

-wmd file Specifies a binary widget meta-language
description file to be used in place of the
default WML description.
