       uil - The user interface language compiler

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       uil [options] file

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.   Specifies  the  file  to  be  compiled
       through  the  UIL  compiler.  Specifies one or more of the
       following options: 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.   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.  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.  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.  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.  Specifies that the compiler suppress all warning
       and informational messages. If this option is not present,
       all  messages  are  generated, regardless of the severity.
       Specifies a binary widget meta-language  description  file
       to be used in place of the default WML description.
