Using Header Files Compiled with viewc

You can use header files created by the view compiler (viewc) in any C application programs to declare a C structure described by views. For example, the following view description:

VIEW test
#TYPE   CNAME    FBNAME    COUNT    FLAG    SIZE     NULL
int     empid    EMPID       1        -       -      -1
float   salary   EMPPAY      1        -       -      0
long    phone    EMPPHONE    4        -       -      0
string  name     EMPNAME     1        -       32     "NO NAME"
END

produces a C header file that looks like this:

struct test {
 long    empid;                 /* null=-1 */
 float   salary;                /* null=0.000000 */
 long    phone[4];              /* null=0 */
 char    name[32];              /* null="NO NAME" */
};
