     NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
	  uil -	The user interface language compiler

     SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  uil [options ]  [file]

     VERSION    [Toc]    [Back]
	  This page documents Motif 2.1.

     DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
	  The uilcommand 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.
