NAME

       kuipc - the CERN KUIP compiler

SYNOPSIS

       kuipc  [ options ] [ inputfile [ outputfile ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       kuipc,  the  Kit  for a User Interface Package Compiler, is a tool to simplify the writing of a program's
       user interface code.  It takes as input a Command Definition File (CDF) that describes the commands to be
       understood by the program, and outputs C or FORTRAN code that makes the appropriate function calls to set
       up the user interface.  This code can then be compiled and linked with the rest of  the  program.   Since
       the  generated  code uses KUIP routines, the program must also be linked against the Packlib library that
       contains them.

       If no output file is specified, kuipc will output generated code to a file whose name is the same as  the
       input  file's,  with  the  ending  '.cdf'  replaced by '.f' or '.c' as appropriate.  If neither input nor
       output file are given, kuipc will prompt for them.  Be careful because kuipc  overwrites  existing  files
       with no warning.

OPTIONS

       -c     Generate C code.

       -f     Generate FORTRAN code (the default).

       -split Output  several  files,  one  for  each time the >Name control line is used in the CDF input.  The
              names of the output files will correspond to the arguments given on the >Name control lines.

BUGS

       When the -split option is used, kuipc will still create an output file that it would have made if  -split
       was not used; the file will be of zero size.
