 | 
						|
<p><span class="command">windmc</span> 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:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <dl>
 | 
						|
<dt><code>h</code><dd>A C header file containing the message definitions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <br><dt><code>rc</code><dd>A resource file compilable by the <span class="command">windres</span> tool.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <br><dt><code>bin</code><dd>One or more binary files containing the resource data for a specific
 | 
						|
message language.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <br><dt><code>dbg</code><dd>A C include file that maps message id's to their symbolic name. 
 | 
						|
</dl>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>The exact description of these different formats is available in
 | 
						|
documentation from Microsoft.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>When <span class="command">windmc</span> converts from the <code>mc</code> format to the <code>bin</code>
 | 
						|
format, <code>rc</code>, <code>h</code>, and optional <code>dbg</code> it is acting like the
 | 
						|
Windows Message Compiler.
