-a
--ascii_in
Specifies that the input file specified is ASCII. This is the
default behaviour.
-A
--ascii_out
Specifies that messages in the output "bin" files should be
in ASCII format.
-b
--binprefix
Specifies that "bin" filenames should have to be prefixed by
the basename of the source file.
-c
--customflag
Sets the customer bit in all message id's.
-C codepage
--codepage_in codepage
Sets the default codepage to be used to convert input file to
UTF16. The default is ocdepage 1252.
-d
--decimal_values
Outputs the constants in the header file in decimal. Default
is using hexadecimal output.
-e ext
--extension ext
The extension for the header file. The default is .h
extension.
-F target
--target target
Specify the BFD format to use for a bin file as output. This
is a BFD 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.
-h path
--headerdir path
The target directory of the generated header file. The
default is the current directory.
-H
--help
Displays a list of command-line options and then exits.
-m characters
--maxlength characters
Instructs windmc to generate a warning if the length of any
message exceeds the number specified.
-n
--nullterminate
Terminate message text in "bin" files by zero. By default
they are terminated by CR/LF.
-o
--hresult_use
Not yet implemented. Instructs "windmc" to generate an OLE2
header file, using HRESULT definitions. Status codes are used
if the flag is not specified.
-O codepage
--codepage_out codepage
Sets the default codepage to be used to output text files.
The default is ocdepage 1252.
-r path
--rcdir path
The target directory for the generated "rc" script and the
generated "bin" files that the resource compiler script
includes. The default is the current directory.
-u
--unicode_in
Specifies that the input file is UTF16.
-U
--unicode_out
Specifies that messages in the output "bin" file should be in
UTF16 format. This is the default behaviour.
-v
--verbose
Enable verbose mode.
-V
--version
Prints the version number for windmc.
-x path
--xdgb path
The path of the "dbg" C include file that maps message id's
to the symbolic name. No such file is generated without
specifying the switch.
@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.
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.
