NAME

guil − generate UIL code for user interface elements described in a GIL file

SYNOPSIS

guil [ options ] [ filename ]

DESCRIPTION

guil reads a Guide Interface Language (GIL) file created by OpenWindows Developer’s Guide, a user interface design editor.  As it reads, guil generates UIL source code for the OpenWindows user interface elements. Note that the end result will not closely resemble the interface built with Devguide. Devguide produces OPEN LOOK compliant interfaces, which differ in several ways from an equivalent Motif interface. Several objects exist in OPEN LOOK that do not exist in Motif. Also, many OPEN LOOK objects require two or more Motif widgets two achieve the same result. Additionaly, Motif widgets sizes and shapes differ. 
 
See the show_window.c example in the demo directory for an example on how to incorporate a UIL file into an application.
 

Note that GIL files all end with a .G extension.  guil allows you to specify the filename with or without the extension: both filename.G and filename are acceptable names to specify filename.G to guil. 

OPTIONS

−v[vvv]
Sets guil so it is verbose, producing a message each time it generates source code for a user interface element. You can use one, two, or three v’s in succsession for increased verbosity. 

−f Sets guil so it overwrites the existing filename.uil file. 

FILES

filename.gil
The file containing the UIL code.
