.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "WINDMC 1" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
.nh windmc - generates Windows message resources. Header "SYNOPSIS" windmc [options] input-file Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBwindmc reads message definitions from an input file (.mc) and translate them into a set of output files. The output files may be of four kinds: Item "h" A C header file containing the message definitions. Item "rc" A resource file compilable by the windres tool. Item "bin" One or more binary files containing the resource data for a specific message language. Item "dbg" A C include file that maps message id's to their symbolic name.

The exact description of these different formats is available in documentation from Microsoft.

When windmc converts from the \*(C`mc\*(C' format to the \*(C`bin\*(C' format, \*(C`rc\*(C', \*(C`h\*(C', and optional \*(C`dbg\*(C' it is acting like the Windows Message Compiler.

Header "OPTIONS" Item "-a"

0

Item "--ascii_in"

Specifies that the input file specified is \s-1ASCII.\s0 This is the default behaviour.

Item "-A"

0

Item "--ascii_out"

Specifies that messages in the output \*(C`bin\*(C' files should be in \s-1ASCII\s0 format.

Item "-b"

0

Item "--binprefix"

Specifies that \*(C`bin\*(C' filenames should have to be prefixed by the basename of the source file.

Item "-c"

0

Item "--customflag"

Sets the customer bit in all message id's.

Item "-C codepage"

0

Item "--codepage_in codepage"

Sets the default codepage to be used to convert input file to \s-1UTF16.\s0 The default is ocdepage 1252.

Item "-d"

0

Item "--decimal_values"

Outputs the constants in the header file in decimal. Default is using hexadecimal output.

Item "-e ext"

0

Item "--extension ext"

The extension for the header file. The default is .h extension.

Item "-F target"

0

Item "--target target"

Specify the \s-1BFD\s0 format to use for a bin file as output. This is a \s-1BFD\s0 target name; you can use the --help option to see a list of supported targets. Normally windmc will use the default format, which is the first one listed by the --help option.

Item "-h path"

0

Item "--headerdir path"

The target directory of the generated header file. The default is the current directory.

Item "-H"

0

Item "--help"

Displays a list of command line options and then exits.

Item "-m characters"

0

Item "--maxlength characters"

Instructs windmc to generate a warning if the length of any message exceeds the number specified.

Item "-n"

0

Item "--nullterminate"

Terminate message text in \*(C`bin\*(C' files by zero. By default they are terminated by \s-1CR/LF.\s0

Item "-o"

0

Item "--hresult_use"

Not yet implemented. Instructs \*(C`windmc\*(C' to generate an \s-1OLE2\s0 header file, using \s-1HRESULT\s0 definitions. Status codes are used if the flag is not specified.

Item "-O codepage"

0

Item "--codepage_out codepage"

Sets the default codepage to be used to output text files. The default is ocdepage 1252.

Item "-r path"

0

Item "--rcdir path"

The target directory for the generated \*(C`rc\*(C' script and the generated \f(CW\*(C`bin\*(C' files that the resource compiler script includes. The default is the current directory.

Item "-u"

0

Item "--unicode_in"

Specifies that the input file is \s-1UTF16.\s0

Item "-U"

0

Item "--unicode_out"

Specifies that messages in the output \*(C`bin\*(C' file should be in \s-1UTF16\s0 format. This is the default behaviour.

Item "-v"

0

Item "--verbose"

Enable verbose mode.

Item "-V"

0

Item "--version"

Prints the version number for windmc.

Item "-x path"

0

Item "--xdgb path"

The path of the \*(C`dbg\*(C' C include file that maps message id's to the symbolic name. No such file is generated without specifying the switch.

Item "@file" Read command-line options from file. The options read are inserted in place of the original @file option. If file does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not removed. .Sp Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash. The file may itself contain additional @file options; any such options will be processed recursively. Header "SEE ALSO" the Info entries for binutils.
