NAME
uil - 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 have already
been 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
uid database. This helps you
isolate errors. The default is
no machine code.
-o file Directs the compiler to produce a
user interface database (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
- 1 -
uil(1) uil(1)
-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 will be generated,
regardless of the severity.

OSF/Motif Programmer's Guide.
