.Nd convert file to c-source
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl n Ar count
|
|
.Op Fl x
|
|
.Op Ar prefix Op Ar suffix
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility reads a file from stdin and writes it to stdout, converting each
|
|
byte to its decimal or hexadecimal representation on the fly.
|
|
The byte values are separated by a comma.
|
|
This also means that the last byte value is not followed by a comma.
|
|
By default the byte values are printed in decimal, but when the
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
option is given, the values will be printed in hexadecimal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If more than 70 characters are printed on the same line, that line is
|
|
ended and the output continues on the next line.
|
|
With the
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
option this can be made to happen after the specified number of
|
|
byte values have been printed.
|
|
The length of the line will not be considered anymore.
|
|
To have all the byte values printed on the same line, give the
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
option a negative number.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A prefix and suffix strings can be printed before and after the byte values
|
|
(resp.)
|
|
If a suffix is to be printed, a prefix must also be specified.
|
|
The first non-option word is the prefix, which may optionally be followed
|
|
by a word that is to be used as the suffix.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This program is typically used to embed binary files into C source files.
|
|
The prefix is used to define an array type and the suffix is used to end
|
|
the C statement.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
options are useful when the binary data represents a bitmap and the output
|
|
needs to remain readable and/or editable.
|
|
Fonts, for example, are a good example of this.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The command:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
date | file2c 'const char date[] = {' ',0};'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will produce:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
const char date[] = {
|
|
83,97,116,32,74,97,110,32,50,56,32,49,54,58,50,56,58,48,53,
