rec_em (Resource Embedded)

Creates a c++ header from an input file as an unsigned char array which can be used as an embedded resource in another binary. The unsigned char array will be wrapped in a namespace. Also in the namespace will be the name of the input file used to generate it and the length of the array data as an unsigned int.

Usage:

rec_em INPUT [OPTIONS]

• INPUT

  an be a single file or a directory containing multiple files. If a directory is given all files within the directory will be added to the generated header.

• OPTIONS

  -o, --output NAME : Output filename for generated header. The default is 'rec_em'.

  -d, --directory PATH : Path to write the generated header. Path will be recursively created if it doesn't exist.

  -n, --namespace NAME : Namespace to be used in the generated header.

  -h, --help : Prints this help message.

  -v, --version : Print version.

Example 1:

rec_em File1.txt -o file1_txt -d embedded_include -n embedded_file

• This would create the header file 'file1_txt.hpp' in the directory 'embedded_include' with the unsigned char array inside the namespace embedded_file{}.

Example 2:

rec_em ../input_directory -o all_txt_files -d emb_include -n embedded_file

• Assuming the directory ../input_directory contains three files (a.txt, b.txt, c.txt), this would create a single file all_txt_files.hpp in the emb_include directory in the embedded_file{} namespace. Each file's char array will be uniquely named based on the input filenames.
