NAME
     uil --The user interface language compiler

SYNOPSIS
     uil [ 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.


     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  path-
                           name, 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  pro-
                           duced  if the compiler issues any diagnostics catego-
                           rized as error or severe.

               -s          Directs the compiler to set the locale before compil-
                           ing any files.  The locale is set in  an  implementa-
                           tion-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 descrip-
                           tion.
