.SH "NAME"
windmc \- generates Windows message resources
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
windmc [options] input-file
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBwindmc\fR 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:
.ie n .IP """h""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWh\fR" 4
.IX Item "h"
A C header file containing the message definitions.
.ie n .IP """rc""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWrc\fR" 4
.IX Item "rc"
A resource file compilable by the \fBwindres\fR tool.
.ie n .IP """bin""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWbin\fR" 4
.IX Item "bin"
One or more binary files containing the resource data for a specific
message language.
.ie n .IP """dbg""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWdbg\fR" 4
.IX Item "dbg"
A C include file that maps message id's to their symbolic name.
.PP
The exact description of these different formats is available in
documentation from Microsoft.
.PP
When \fBwindmc\fR converts from the \f(CW\*(C`mc\*(C'\fR format to the \f(CW\*(C`bin\*(C'\fR
format, \f(CW\*(C`rc\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`h\*(C'\fR, and optional \f(CW\*(C`dbg\*(C'\fR it is acting like the
Windows Message Compiler.

.IX Item "@file"
Read command-line options from \fIfile\fR.  The options read are
inserted in place of the original @\fIfile\fR option.  If \fIfile\fR
does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
literally, and not removed.
.Sp
Options in \fIfile\fR 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 \fIfile\fR may itself contain additional
@\fIfile\fR options; any such options will be processed recursively.
