Name dtbuilder - the CDE Application Builder SYNOPSIS dtbuilder [projectfile] DESCRIPTION The dtbuilder utility is an interactive application develop- ment tool and user interface management system for CDE. Known more fully as the CDE Application Builder, dtbuilder is designed to make it easier for developers to construct applications that integrate well into the CDE. It provides two basic services - aid in assembling Motif objects into the desired application user interface and generation of appropriate calls to the routines that support CDE desktop services (e.g. ToolTalk, sessioning, Help). OPTIONS None. OPERANDS The dtbuilder utility accepts an optional filename operand that is interpreted as the name of an application project file that should be loaded for editing. This file should be in the BIL format defined for use by the Application Builder. If no project file is specified, then dtbuilder comes up "empty", ready for a new application to be developed interactively by the user. RESOURCES None. STDIN Not used. INPUT FILES A project file to be processed by the dtbuilder utility must to be in the BIL format defined for the CDE Application Builder. Interactively, the Application Builder provides facilities for loading additional project files, as well as application module files (which also must be in the BIL format) and interface files that use Motif's UIL format. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES None. ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS The dtbuilder utility takes the standard action for all signals. STDOUT Not used. STDERR Used only for diagnostic messages. OUTPUT FILES None by default. Interactively, the Application Builder provides facilities for writing ("saving") application project and module files, both of which must be in the BIL format, and also for writ- ing ("exporting") interface files that use Motif's UIL for- mat. EXTENDED DESCRIPTION None. EXIT STATUS The following exit values are returned: 0 Normal termination. 1 Abnormal termination. The dtbuilder utility was unable to allocate necessary memory or spawn the code generator. CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS Default. APPLICATION USAGE Because the dtbuilder is a complex, highly-interactive tool, users typically consider the command line interface as lit- tle more than the way to start up the Application Builder. CDE provides an "AppBuilder" action so the Application Builder can be invoked through the standard action inter- face, including through the Application Manager. EXAMPLES dtbuilder This runs the CDE Application Builder, presuming that the user will either be creating a new project or will load one interactively through the Application Builder's "File" menu. dtbuilder myproject.bip Starts the CDE Application Builder and instructs it to load the project defined in the file myproject.bip.
