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.
