uil(1X)uil(1X)NAMEuil — The user interface language compiler
SYNOPSISuil [ options ] file
VERSION
This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.
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. Specifies the
file to be compiled through the UIL compiler. Specifies one or more of
the following options: 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. 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. 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 catego‐
rized as error or severe. 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. 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. Specifies that the compiler suppress all warn‐
ing and informational messages. If this option is not present, all
messages are generated, regardless of the severity. Specifies a binary
widget meta-language description file to be used in place of the
default WML description.
