NAME
  tt_type_comp - compile ToolTalk otypes and ptypes

SYNOPSIS
  tt_type_comp [-mMs] [-d db] source_file

  tt_type_comp -r [-s] [-d db] type ...

  tt_type_comp -p | -O | -P [-sE] [-d db]

  tt_type_comp -p | -O | -P [-s] source_file

  tt_type_comp -x [-s] [-o compiled_file] source_file

  tt_type_comp [-hv]

DESCRIPTION
  The tt_type_comp utility processes otypes and ptypes.	 The default action
  of tt_type_comp is to compile types from source form into compiled form and
  then merge the compiled types into the standard ToolTalk types databases.
  The tt_type_comp utility preprocesses the source types with cpp(1), and can
  optionally write out the compiled types instead of merging them into the
  standard databases.  The tt_type_comp utility can also remove types from
  the standard databases or write out the contents of these databases.

  The tt_type_comp utility operates in two fundamental modes: XDR and
  Classing Engine.  XDR mode is the default.  In XDR mode, the standard
  databases are simply serialized ToolTalk data structures, and the format of
  tt_type_comp output files is the same as that of the databases.  In
  Classing Engine mode, the standard databases are in fact the Classing
  Engine's own databases.

OPTIONS
  The following options are available:

  -d db Specify the database to work on, which must be one of user, system or
	network.

	For Classing Engine mode these are defined as:

	user	  $HOME/.cetables/cetables

	system	  /etc/cetables/cetables

	network	  $OPENWINHOME/lib/cetables/cetables

	For the XDR format these are defined as:

	user	  $HOME/.tt/types.xdr

	system	  /etc/tt/types.xdr

	network	  $OPENWINHOME/etc/tt/types.xdr

	These three databases form a hierarchy in which the definition of a
	type in the user database overrides the definition in the system
	database, and so on.  For the merge and remove options, the default
	database is user.  For the -p, -O and -P options, the default is all
	three databases.

  -E	Use Classing Engine mode, instead of the default XDR mode.

  -h	Write a help message for invoking tt_type_comp and then exit.

  -m	Merge types into the specified database, updating any existing type
	with the new definition given.	This is the default action.  This
	action is not supported for Classing Engine mode.  The specified
	database is the first element from the TTPATH environment variable,
	or $HOME/.tt/types.xdr if TTPATH is NULL or not set.  If TTPATH is
	NULL or not set, it is considered to be:
	     $HOME/.tt/types.xdr:\
	     /etc/tt/types.xdr:\
	     /usr/dt/appconfig/tttypes/types.xdr

  -M	Merge types into the specified database (see -m), but only if they do
	not already exist in that database.  This action is not supported for
	Classing Engine mode.

  -O	Write the names of all otypes read.

  -p	Write the ToolTalk types read in a source format suitable for
	recompilation with tt_type_comp.

  -P	Write the names of all ptypes read.

  -o compiled_file
	Write the compiled types into the specified file, or to standard
	output if compiled_file is -.

  -r	Remove the given ptypes or otypes from the specified database, as
	indicated by the type operands.

  -s	Silent mode.  Write nothing to standard output.

  -v	Write the version number of tt_type_comp and then exit.

  -x	Compile source types into a compiled types file, instead of merging
	them into the standard types databases.

OPERANDS
  The following operands are supported:

  source_file
	A pathname of a text file containing ToolTalk source code.  If
	source_file is -, standard input is used.

  type	A name of a type to be removed by the -r option.

STDIN
  The standard input is used only if a source_file operand is -.


INPUT FILES
  The input file named by source_file is a text file containing ToolTalk
  source code.


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of tt_type_comp:

  CEPATH	 In Classing Engine mode, a colon-separated list of
		 directories that tells the Classing Engine where to find the
		 databases that contain (among other things) ToolTalk types.

  LANG		 Provide a default value for the internationalization
		 variables that are unset or null.  If LANG is unset or null,
		 the corresponding value from the implementation-specific
		 default locale will be used.  If any of the
		 internationalization variables contains an invalid setting,
		 the utility behaves as if none of the variables had been
		 defined.

  LC_ALL	 If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of
		 all the other internationalization variables.

  LC_MESSAGES	 Determine the locale that is used to affect the format and
		 contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error
		 and informative messages written to standard output.

  NLSPATH	 Determine the location of message catalogues for the
		 processing of LC_MESSAGES.

  TTPATH	 In XDR mode, a colon-separated list of directories that
		 tells the ToolTalk service where to find the ToolTalk types
		 databases.  The format of this variable is
		      userDir[:systemDir[:networkDir]]

RESOURCES
  None.

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
  The tt_type_comp utility takes the standard action for all signals.

STDOUT
  When the -h option is used, tt_type_comp writes to standard output a help
  message in an unspecified format.

  When the -o option is used, tt_type_comp writes to standard output a
  listing of all otypes read.

  When the -p option is used, tt_type_comp writes to standard output a
  listing of all the ToolTalk types read, in a source format suitable for
  recompilation with tt_type_comp.

  When the -P option is used, tt_type_comp writes to standard output a
  listing of all ptypes read.

  When the -v option is used, tt_type_comp writes to standard output a
  version number in an unspecified format.




STDERR
  Used only for diagnostic messages.



OUTPUT FILES
  When the -x or -d user option is used, tt_type_comp writes the compiled
  types in an unspecified format into a user-specified file.  Otherwise, it
  writes the compiled types into the databases described under -d.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
  None.

EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Successful completion.

  1   Usage; tt_type_comp was given invalid command line options.

  2   A syntax error was found in the source types given to tt_type_comp.

  3   System error; tt_type_comp was interrupted by SIGINT, or encountered
      some system or internal error.

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
  Default.
