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.
