hpack

hpack can convert any data file into a C header file , storing the data in a C array. Thus one can use this array to reconstruct or use this data on runtime. Useful if you want to store some data into your executable.

Warning : The resulting header file size will be your original file size multiplied by 4.4 KiB which can be quite huge. However no useless data is added to the array. Therefore be mindful on what files you pack into your header.

AppImage Support
