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.
-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.

Guide.
