NAME
uil - The user interface language compiler
SYNOPSIS
uil
[ options ] file
DESCRIPTION
The uil command invokes the UIL compiler. The User Inter-
face Language (UIL) is a specification language for describ-
ing the initial state of a user interface for a Motif appli-
cation. 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 com-
piler.
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 descrip-
tion.
