     NAME
          uil - The user interface language compiler

     SYNOPSIS
          uil [options ]  [file]

     VERSION
          This page documents Motif 2.1.

     DESCRIPTION
          The uilcommand 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. UIDs are portable only across
                              same-size machine architectures.

                    -s        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.

                    -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.

                    -wmd file Specifies a binary widget meta-language
                              description file to be used in place of
                              the default WML description.
