As it reads, gxv generates C and XView source code for the OpenWindows user interface elements. gxv generates four source code files and a Makefile: _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e__u_i._c The primary source code file, containing initialization and creation functions for user interface elements. _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e__u_i._h Contains declarations, typedefs for window structures, and C externs. _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e__s_t_u_b_s._c Contains callback function templates for the element handlers specified in the user interface. _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e._i_n_f_o Contains help text attached to user interface elements. Makefile, which controls the source code compile. Note that GIL files all end with a .G extension. gxv allows you to specify the _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e with or without the extension: both _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e._G and _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e are acceptable names to specify filename.G to gxv. OPTIONS -s Sets gxv so it works silently, producing no messages while generating source code. -v Sets gxv so it is verbose, producing a message each time it generates source code for a user interface ele- ment. -a Sets gxv so it writes ANSI C. gxv will write the proper function prototypes for all functions. The resulting code will work with most ANSI C compilers. The include files in OpenWindows Version 2 do not fully support ANSI C.
