NAME

       uil — The user interface language compiler "user interface language" "user interface language" "compiler"
       "uil" "uil" "compiler"

SYNOPSIS

       uil [options ]  [file]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       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   "user interface database" "uid 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.

       X(1) and Uil(3).
