A special .Ar - value can be passed as input which will read standard input instead. .Pp The .Ar variable can contain any character but only ones that are allowed in the C standard will be kept, other will be replaced with a .Dq _ . Also, the extension (by finding the first .) is removed as well. This can be handy when generating a lots of file based on their names during a build process. .Pp Note: you must still not start a variable name with digits. .Pp The following options are available: .Bl -tag -width space-num-xxx .It Fl 0 Terminate the generated array with a trailing NUL. .It Fl c Generates a .Em const array. .It Fl I Ar tab-num Use .Ar tab-num count as leading tab indents. .It Fl i Ar space-num Use .Ar space-num count as leading space indents. .It Fl s Generates a .Em static array. .It Fl t Ar type Changes the array char type to store the data content which defaults to .Ar unsigned char . .El .\" EXAMPLES .Sh EXAMPLES Create a static const array from an image. .Bd -literal -offset indent bcc -sc image.png image > image.h .Ed .Pp Create a modifiable char NUL-terminated array from a text file .Bd -literal -offset indent bcc -0 -t char text.txt text > text.h .Ed .\" HISTORY .Sh HISTORY The .Nm tool is inspired by .Nm xxd utility but offers more flexibility over the the generated code. .\" SEE ALSO .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr xxd 1 .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm utility was written by .An David Demelier Aq Mt markand@malikania.fr .
