FILE2C(1) OpenBSD Reference Manual FILE2C(1)NAMEfile2c - convert file to c-source
SYNOPSISfile2c [string] [string]
DESCRIPTION
The file2c utility reads a file from the standard input and writes it to
the standard output, converting each byte to its decimal representation
on the fly.
If the first string is present, it is printed before the data. If the
second string is present, it is printed after the data.
This program is used to embed binary or other files into C source files,
for instance as a char[].
EXAMPLES
The command:
$ date | file2c 'const char date[] = {' ',0};'
will produce:
const char date[] = {
83,97,116,32,74,97,110,32,50,56,32,49,54,58,50,56,58,48,53,
32,80,83,84,32,49,57,57,53,10
,0};
