NAME dtcodegen - generate code from a CDE application building services project or module file SYNOPSIS dtcodegen [-changed] [-main] [-merge] [-nomerge] [-module mymod] [-p|-project myproj] [-np|-noproject] [-showall] [-noshowall] [-s|-silent] [-v|-verbose] [file ...] dtcodegen -help DESCRIPTION The dtcodegen utility reads Builder Interface Language (BIL) files created by the CDE application building services graphical user interface and produces C, Motif and CDE source code for the user interface and application elements defined. The BIL files supplied can be individual module files (files with a .bil suffix) or a project file (files with a .bip suffix) that contains references to zero or more module files. OPTIONS The following options are available: -changed Generate only source code for those modules that have changed since the last time dtcodegen was run. -help Write a help message to standard output explaining all dtcodegen options and then terminate. -main Produce the project files associated with the application's main() routine. -merge Merge generated stubs files with previous versions, perpetuating changes made or custom edits done to the previous stubs file. This is the default behavior. -nomerge Do not merge existing and new _stubs.c files. This option overrides the default merging behavior. If both -merge and -nomerge are used, the one given last on the command line takes precedence. -module mymod Generate code for the module mymod, (which is expected to be defined in the file mymod .bil). Using multiple -module options includes multiple modules in the generated code. -p|-project myproj Generate code for the project myproj, (which is expected to be defined in the file myproj .bip). -noproject Ignore the project.bip project file and use default project settings instead. This is useful in pro- ducing an application from one or a few module files (for example, for testing) as an alternative to generating the entire project. -showall Cause the generated application to show (map) all application windows (main windows and dialogs) at startup, ignoring whether they are set to be ini- tially visible or not. If no project is specified on the command line, either by using -project or by specifying a project .bip file as an operand, dtcodegen performs as if -showall had been speci- fied. (The -noshowall option suppresses this behavior). -noshowall Cause the generated application to show at startup (map) only those windows (main windows and dialogs) whose initially visible attribute is true. If a project is specified on the command line, either by using -project or by specifying a project .bip file as an operand, dtcodegen performs as if -noshowall had been specified. (The -showall option suppresses this behavior). -s|-silent Work silently, producing no output except error messages while generating source code. -v|-verbose Be more verbose in providing progress and status messages during the generation of source code. OPERANDS The following operand is supported: file A pathname of a project or module file. It is not necessary to specify the .bip or .bil extension for any file because dtcodegen uses a sequence of search algorithms in the current directory to determine what files should be read in order to satisfy the specified command line. If no file operands are given, dtcodegen searches the current directory for a project file (a file with a .bip suffix). If one is found, it is used as if it had been specified on the command line. If more than one is found, the first one encoun- tered is used. If one or more file operands are specified, dtcode- gen checks to see if any of them is a project file in the current working directory, and uses the first one found. If none of the file operands are project files, then the directory is searched for a project file. This search is similar to the no- operand case, but is modified to look for a project file that contain modules corresponding to other file operands. Operands other than the project file are taken to be module names. See the EXAMPLES section for more on the interpretation of filename operands and how the search features of dtcodegen may be used. RESOURCES None. STDIN Not used. INPUT FILES All input files are text files in the BIL format. See BIL(4). ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The following environment variables affect the execution of dtcodegen: LANG Provide a default value for the interna- tionalization variables that are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value from the implementation-specific default locale will be used. If any of the internation- alization variables contains an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none of the variables had been defined. LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, over- ride the values of all the other interna- tionalization variables. LC_MESSAGES Determine the locale that is used to affect the format and contents of diagnos- tic messages written to standard error and informative messages written to standard output. NLSPATH Determine the location of message catalo- gues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES. ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS The dtcodegen utility takes the standard action for all sig- nals. STDOUT When -help is specified, dtcodegen writes to standard output a usage message in an unspecified format. Otherwise, stan- dard output is not used. STDERR When -verbose is specified, dtcodegen writes to standard error informational progress messages and diagnostic mes- sages in an unspecified format. Otherwise, standard error is used only for diagnostic messages. OUTPUT FILES The dtcodegen utility produces the following files: modname_ui.c The primary source code file for module modname, containing C code to create the objects in the module and establish connections for those objects. modname_ui.h Declarations and C externs for module modname. modname_stubs.c Callback functions for the element handlers specific to module modname. project.c If dtcodegen is generating code for a project, this file contains main() plus any callback functions that are common across modules. project.h If dtcodegen is generating code for a project, this file contains declarations for any callback func- tions and C externs that are common across inter- faces. .dtcodegen.log A record of per-module code generation and the date and time of each module as it was processed. This data is required to provide support for the -changed option as part of determining which files need to be regenerated and which ones do not. Additional application code should be added to the modname_stubs.c, project.c and project.c files, as appropri- ate, because their contents are merged across runs of dtcodegen. EXTENDED DESCRIPTION None. EXIT STATUS The following exit values are returned: 0 successful completion >0 an error occurred CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS Because code generation involves the sequential production of a set of application files, errors that cause the dtcode- gen utility to exit prematurely also may result in some module or project source files having been generated while others were not. Attempts to build the application from this mix of new and old generated code produce undefined results. APPLICATION USAGE Typically the dtcodegen utility is used indirectly through the CDE Application Builder's Code Generator dialog. This allows application code to be generated while the user is working with the Application Builder rather than through a separate interface or shell command line. The Code Genera- tor dialog provides a graphical user interface for dtcodegen that makes it easy to generate code, build the resulting application and then execute it. In some cases, however, it may be desirable to use the dtcodegen utility directly. A common example of this usage is to employ the code generator from within an application Makefile to produce a portion of the application code from pre-existing project or module files. EXAMPLES Run the code generator on the application defined by the project file myproject.bip: dtcodegen -p myproject Run the code generator for the project myproject.bip, but only generate code for the module modulename.bil: dtcodegen myproject.bip modulename Search the current working directory for a project file that references the module mymodule and then silently generate code for just that module: dtcodegen -silent mymodule In the following example: dtcodegen name1 name2 if the project file name1.bip exists, it is used and code is generated for module name2.bil. Otherwise, both name1 and name2 are taken as the name of modules, the current working directory is searched for a project file that references both modules, and code for those two modules is generated. Run the code generator, which searches the current working directory for a project file to be processed, and generates all code associated with that project: dtcodegen Generate just the files associated with the main routine for the project myproject, namely myproject.c and myproject.h: dtcodegen -main -p myproject Search the current working directory for a project file and, if one is found, generate code for only those modules that have changed since the code generator was last run: dtcodegen -changed Generate, for the project myproject.bip, code only for those modules among the set module1, module2 and module3 that have changed since the last time the code generator was run: dtcodegen -changed -p myproject module1 module2 module3 SEE ALSO dtbuilder(1), BIL(4).
