uil(1X) UNIX System V uil(1X)
NAME
uil - The user interface language compiler for X window system.
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 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.
-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.
For more information about UIL syntax, see the OSF/Motif Programmer's
Guide.
