SYNOPSIS

       widl [options] infile.idl
       widl [options] --dlldata-only name1 [name2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       When  no  options are used the program will generate a header file, and
       possibly client and server stubs, proxy and dlldata files,  a  typelib,
       and  a UUID file, depending on the contents of the IDL file.  If any of
       the options -c, -h, -p, -s, -t, -u, or --local-stubs  are  given,  widl
       will  only  generate the requested files, and no others.  When run with
       --dlldata-only, widl will only generate a dlldata  file,  and  it  will
       contain  a list of the names passed as arguments.  Usually the way this
       file is updated is that each time widl is run, it  reads  any  existing
       dlldata  file,  and  if  necessary regenerates it with the same list of
       names, but with the present proxy file included.

       When run without any arguments, widl will print a help message.
