conductor(1)

PROGRAM
conductor - This program automatically generates code to initialize and extract information from the Graphical User Interface (GUI). It is for use by all application programmers who intend to write an xvroutine.

SYNTAX

conductor

-i  UIS file

-l  Level of Extraction

[-b]
    generate program driver?

[-f]
    force output?

[-V]
    Gives the version for conductor

[-U]
    Gives the usage for conductor

[-P]
    Prompts for command line options

[-A [file1]]
    Creates the answer file called conductor.ans or file1

[-a [file1]]
    Uses conductor.ans or file1 as the answer file

DESCRIPTION
Conductor generates the C code to extract information from the graphical user interface for use with xvroutines. It also generates an information structure based on the variable names provided in the UIS file. It is via this structure that information may be passed from the graphical user interface back to the xvroutine, so that the application program may take appropriate action based on the user's input. If the (-b) flag is used, conductor will also generate generic drivers for the application program. These drivers will need to be modified for the application in question.

    For much more detail on the conductor code generation program, see chapter 6 of the Khoros Programmers's Manual.
