NAME
reswrap - wrap icon resources into C code
SYNOPSIS
reswrap [options] [-o[a] outfile] files...
DESCRIPTION
Reswrap is a tool to turn images, text, and other resource files into C
or C++ data arrays. This allows various binary resources to be embed‐
ded in the source code, and compiled into an application.
In development of graphical applications with FOX, it is used to embed
icons and images for the user interface into the executable and elimi‐
nate the need to distribute separate icon and image files.
Reswrap is typically invoked as a part of the build process to generate
C source files from a collection of icons and images and other binary
resources.
By default reswrap will interpret the files listed as a stream of raw
bytes and output them as an initialized data array to stdout.
OPTIONS
-o[a] outfile
Write the result into the file outfile instead of writing to
stdout. With -o the outfile will be overwritten with the data
from the input. With the -oa option, the resulting code is
appended to the output file, allowing multiple input files to be
placed into one single source file.
-h Print a short usage message.
-v Just print out the version number and license information.
-d Write data as decimal numbers instead of using the default hexa‐
decimal numbers.
-m Read files with MS-DOS mode (default is binary). This replaces
"\r\n" with "\n" when reading the resource file.
-x Write data as hexadecimal numbers (default).
-t[a] Write data as a text string, with each byte represented as a
hexadecimal excape sequence, as in "\x33".
Note that the C or C++ compiler appends a nul-character at the
end of the text string, thus making the data array one character
longer than the file.
With the a option, printable ascii characters are passed
unescaped, while special characters like tabs and newlines are
given the usual escape codes.
-e Places the storage modifier extern in front of the data array,
ensuring that the data array can be linked with other compila‐
tion units. Normally, constant declarations are not visible in
other compilation units.
-i Instead of generating an array definition only write a declara‐
tion, which can be included as a header file.
-k This option causes reswrap to keep the file extension, replacing
the "." with an underscore "_". Usage of this option is recom‐
mended as it reduces errors when using the data arrays.
-s This option suppresses comments inserted by reswrap to indicate
the original file name from which the data statement was gener‐
ated.
-p prefix
Prepend the given prefix in front of the name of the resource;
this may be used to generate class names or namespace names in
front of symbols.
-n namespace
Generate all declarations inside the given C++ namespace decla‐
ration. Using a namespace may be used to ensure that declara‐
tions are only accessible within the given scope, and thus won't
clash with symbols.
-c cols
Writes cols columns instead of the default number of columns in
the data statements generated by reswrap. The default number of
columns for decimal and hex printout is 16 characters; the
default for text string printout is 80 characters.
-r name
Instead of using a resource name based on the filename, reswrap
substitutes name for the resource name used in the declaration
or definition for the following resource file. This is useful
if the filename can not be used as an identifier, for example if
the filename is a reserved word in C or C++, like "while".
CAVEATS
When using the text string mode, please remember the C compiler appends
one nul-character after the string, making the data array one element
longer than the resource file.
