NAME
uil - The user interface language compiler for X window sys-
tem.
SYNOPSIS
uil [ options ] file
DESCRIPTION
The uil command invokes the UIL compiler. The user inter-
face language (UIL) is a specification language for describ-
ing the initial state of a user interface for a Motif(TM)
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 direc-
tory 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 Data-
base (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 pro-
duced if the compiler issues any diag-
nostics 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 mes-
sages. If this option is not present,
all messages are generated, regardless
of the severity.

Programmer's Guide.
