Commands Reference, Volume 5
uil Command
Purpose
Starts the User Interface Language (UIL) compiler
for the AIXwindows system.
Syntax
uil [ -IPathName ] InputFile [ -m ] [ -o FileName ] [ -s ] [ -v FileName ] [ -w ] [ -wmd FileName ]
Description
The uil command calls the UIL
compiler. The UIL is a specification language for describing the initial state
of a user interface for an AIXwindows application. The specification
describes the objects (menus, dialog boxes, labels, push buttons, and so on)
used in the interface and specifies the functions to be called when the interface
changes state as a result of user interaction.
Flags
-IPathName |
Specifies IncludePathName with no spaces. Causes the compiler to look for include files in a specified
directory if include files were not found in the default paths. (uppercase
i) |
-m |
Specifies that machine code is listed. This directs the compiler
to place a description of the records that it added to the User Interface
Definition (UID) in the listing file. This helps you isolate errors. The default
is no machine code. |
-o FileName |
Directs the compiler to produce a UID. By default, UIL creates a
UID with the name a.uid. The file specifies the file
name for the UID. No UID is produced if the compiler issues any diagnostics
categorized as error or severe. |
-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 the setlocale (LC_ALL,
"") function. If this option is not specified, the compiler does not
set the locale. |
-v FileName |
Directs the compiler to generate a listing. The file specifies the
file name 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 FileName |
Specifies a binary widget meta-language (WML) description file to
be used instead of the default WML description. |
Example
To start the UIL compiler, enter:
uil -I. -o ex.uid ex.uil
